INTRODUCTION 



In 1 896, when Rev. E. Victor Bigelow, a member of the com- 
mittee on Town History, volunteered to write a history of the 
Town of Cohasset, Mr. and Mrs. George L. Davenport were 
engaged by the committee to write a Genealogy of Cohasset 
Families. 

The narrative history was completed and published in 1898, 
but the genealogy requiring infinitely more research, it was not 
possible to publish it with the earlier volume, and it was not 
until October, 1908, that the book was ready for the press. 

In the ten years that have elapsed since the pubhcation of 
the history, there have been some changes in the town, and the 
committee on Town History have taken advantage of the oppor- 
tunity to bring the History up to date. In the narrative history 
subjects were omitted which might properly have been included ; 
we have therefore added a number of chapters containing matter 
which it is believed is of sufficient importance to be preserved. 

We wish to acknowledge our obligation to those who at their 
own expense have furnished half-tones for many of the illustra- 
tions, and especially to Mr, Russell B. Tower, who has made 
from old oil paintings several negatives from which half-tones 
have been made.

PREFACE 



This genealogical record of the families of Cohasset has 
been prepared at the request of the Committee on Town His- 
tory, and is printed as the result of the vote of the town, 
March 3, 1908. 

It was found very unsatisfactory to begin with the date 
1770, when the second precinct of Hingham became the town 
of Cohasset, and the rule adopted was to take each family as 
soon as it became resident upon land now included in this 
town. Besides this " Rocky Nook " was included as being at 
one time a part of Cohasset. The work is brought down to the 
close of 1907, with as much added for 1908 as could be obtained 
up to the time of going to press. 

The basis of the work is the town and church records, and 
these are supplemented by those of other towns, printed and 
unprinted, and other genealogical records, and by family records, 
deeds and wills. As there was no record of deaths kept from 
1747 to 1798, and Joel Willcutt's diary begins only in 1791, the 
date of decease of many prominent persons is conspicuously 
wanting. For this period the cemetery inscriptions are the 
chief authority, but there is no record of the names of the many 
placed in tombs. 

In early years baptisms rather than births were recorded. 
In some instances these took place on the very day of birth, 
but it was more often the following Sunday. 

Much help has been derived from the Hingham Genealogies 
in writing out our families before 1770, but all has been compared 
with our records, and in many cases it has been possible to make 
corrections or to add new matter. Only residents of the 
town (the second precinct of Hingham before 1770) are in- 
cluded, and those only who appear in some way on the records. 

V 



vi Preface. 

One or two exceptions have been made when these seemed 
justified. 

The method of arrangement used is that indorsed by the 
New England Historic Genealogical Society, and is essentially 
the same as that of the Hingham Genealogies. Whenever 
possible the line of ancestors going back to the "emigrant" is 
given, numbered, in parenthesis after the name of the head of 
each family. Where this cannot be done the names of his 
father and mother are given in the parenthesis, sometimes 
followed by those of grandparents. The head of each family 
has his own number, and this number, after number one, is 
found at the left of his name in his father's family, except in 
one or two cases where the father was not of this town, yet 
closely related to others here. 

In early times the spelling of Christian names was so varied 
that it has been thought better to enter them as found. Names 
of those born within the last fifty years or so have been given 
in the generally received form, so far as practicable. Much 
assistance has been received from members of the families 
given, but in one or two instances it has come too late for use. 
It must be remembered that authorities often differ in the 
matter of a date, and in such a case the compiler must use his 
judgment as best he can. 

Double dating was used up to 1752 for the dates between 
I Jan. and 25 Mar., as the year legally began on the latter 
date. For instance, Rev. Nehemiah Hobart began to live in 
his house "Jan. 20, 1724-5." His first child was born Nov. 6, 
1725; that is, the November following. In bringing down the 
dates of the first half of the eighteenth century (until Septem- 
ber, 1752) to the present time, eleven days should be added. 
Thus the two-hundredth anniversary of the raising of Parson 
Hobart's house will occur on Oct. 26, 1922. 

When giving the public offices, held by individuals, their 
election at town meeting was taken as proof of their serving. 
In a few instances they were excused and did not hold office, 
but reference to the note by Mr. N. B. Tower under "Town 
Officers " will lead to the needed corrections. 

We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. George 



Preface. vii 

Lincoln of Hingham for the help his work has given us, and 
we owe thanks to Mr. Wilford J. Litchfield and to Miss Ella 
Bates for assistance in tracing Scituate connections. 

There are many names and dates wanting that time and 
further research may discover, but it has been our earnest 
endeavor to make our work as complete as possible.

BATES (BATE, BEAT). 

Of the grandsons of Clement, who settled in Hing. in 1635, two, 
Joseph and Joshua, sons of Clement's son Joseph, took up their 
abode in the sec. pre. some years before 1700. Later their nephew 
David, son of their brother Caleb, followed them. From these 
three are descended most of the Bates famihes of Coh. A few 
other descendants of Clement, one family from his brother Edward, 
and several, not, thus far, traceable to their emigrant ancestor, 
add to the number bearing the ancient name of Bate, or Bates.

1. Joshua' (Joseph^ Clement^), b. in Hing. 14 Aug., 1671; 
m. 15 Jan., 1695-6, Rachel, dau. of Ibrook and Margaret (Hardin) 
Tower, She was b. in Hing. 16 Mar., 1674-5, and d. before 
1757. He d. April, 1757. Member of ist School Com. 1728. 
One of three to make plan for new meetinghouse in 1746, the 
others being James Stutson and John Stephenson. It seems 
certain that his house was built in 1695, before the first child was 
born, on the west side of what is now South Main St., on lot 40 
of the ist div. In 1711 he was taxed for i house, 2 acres farm, 
6 pasture. In his will, probated 14 Oct., 1757, Joshua Bates 
gives to his dau. Bathsheba Perry "half an acre of land where her 
house now stands"; to his son Joshua, land in the 3d div., "where 
his house now stands"; to Solomon the lot "where his house now 
stands," tliis being near Bathsheba's in lot 19 on South Main St., 
a little south of Beechwood St.; to Jacob "all my homestead, 
housing, and land adjoining, with shop and tools." The tax lists 
show that Jacob lived in the house with his father. In 1749, 
Joshua was taxed for | dwelling house, \ acre orchard, ^ acre 
tillage, 6 pasture, 4 slaves, 2 cows. His house remained in pos- 
session of his descendants till about 1900, but is now owned and 
occupied by James Dean. It is doubtless the oldest house in 
town.

LITCHFIELD. 

Of the many descendants in Cohas.set of Lawrence Litchfield, 
who settled in Scit. shortly before 1646, the greater number are of 
the family of his great-great-grandson James^, who came to the 
Beechwoods about 1760. A few families are derived from Capt. 
Daniel, of Scit., a younger brother of James', and others from a 
still younger brother, Dea. IsraeP, also of Scit. Another group of 
families originates in Lothrop^, a cousin of these brothers. Besides 
these there are one or two, no doubt of the same stock, which can- 
not thus far be rightly placed.

Edward^ b. in Eng., 1604; came to Cambridge, 1640, with wife 
Jane and two sons, Urian and Edward. Urian^, b. in Eng. 163 1; 
grad. H. C. 1649; was settled as minister in Tichfield, Eng., 1650, 
and in Cambridge, Mass., 1671. Elected fourth president of 
Har. Coll., 1675; d. 1681. Of Edward^ but httle is known. He 
was a lieutenant in King Philip's War. 

Thomas^ (Eilward^, b. in Cambridge, 1644; Har. Coll., 1662; 
settled as physician in Boston; was representative 1689; went to 



3 1 6 Oakes. 

Eng. as agent for Mass. and assisted in procuring the new charter. 

His wife, Martha ,d. 19 April, 17 19, aged 70 yrs., in Cambridge. 

He d. in Wcllfleet, 15 July, 17 19, aged 75 yrs. Josiali', youngest son 
of Dr. Thomas^, was b. in Boston, 3 May, 1689; Har. Coll., 1708; 
was settled in ministry at Eastham, where he m. 10 Aug., 1724, 
Margaret, dau. of Samuel and Margaret (Johnson) Haugh. He 
d. at Wcllfleet, 21 Jan., 1732. 

There is much circumstantial evidence to show, though no 
record of it has been found, that his widow, Margaret, married, 
about 1733, James Stutson of Hing., sec. pre. The youngest 
child of James and Margaret was named Atherton Haugh. Of 
the four children of Rev. Josiah and Margaret (Haugli) Oakes one 
had died in Eastham; the others, Joshua Doane, Urian, and 
Samuel, were doubtless brought up in Hing., sec. pre., with their 
half brothers and sisters. 

Joshua Doane'* (Rev, Josiah' Dr. Thomas^ Edward'), b. 
Eastham, 2 June, 1726, "shipwright," died at the house of 
James Stutson, 16 June, 1749. On the preceding day he 
"called his Eldest Brother Urian to his bedside and gave him 
his best suit of Cloath and his watch, and to his brother Samuel, 
the rest of his cloaths, his silver shoe buckles and knee buckles, 
and to his wife the remainder of his estate." His wife's name 
was Mary, and she may have been a niece of Mrs. Sarah Jacob, 
who was present with Leah Egrec, soon to be the wife of Urian. 

Nothing further is known of SamueP, all of the name in Coh. 
being descended from Urian.*

STETSON (STUTSON). 

1. James* (James^ Benjamin^ Robert*), b. in Boston, 11 Sept., 
1699; m. abt. 1733, Margaret . There is convincing circum- 
stantial evidence that she was Margaret (Haugh) Oakes, dau. of 
Samuel Haugh and widow of Rev. Josiah Oakes, but no record of 
her second marriage has been found, and there is no record in 
Coh. either of her death or of James Stutson's. In the Central 
Cemetery their children are buried beside those of Josiah and 
Margaret Oakes. 

The first mention of James Stutson in records of Hing., sec. pre., 
ii as follows: "12 Aug., 1724 — voated that Jeams Stutson should 
have one pound six shillings for work done in the meeting-house 
about ye deacons seat, and making a closet under the pulpit and 
tinding a lock and putting it on closet door." In 1749 he had 
the largest farm in the Beechwoods, but in 1750 he owned the land 
on Main St. south of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, and prob. lived in 
the house, which (enlarged) is now Dr. H. E. Fernald's. Before 
1763, he built a house on what is now Elm St., where he probably 
died in 1772. "Farmer," "housewright," and "shipwright." 
He was one of the builders of the new meeting-house in 1747, and 
purchased the old one, the timbers and panels of which he used 
in building several Coh. houses.

* Nichols Tower (born 1787, died 1866) was an instance of a 
man who helped to make Cohasset a town in which its inhabitants 
could earn their living. His father, Levi Tower, had been one of 
the first shipwrights and vessel owners in Cohasset, and Nichols 
early in life became a vessel owner in partnership with his father, 
and later owned for himself and in connection with others many 
of the vessels built at Cohasset. 

He commanded at times some of the vessels which he owned, 
and Frank Pratt speaks of him as captain of the schooner Tower 
on a fishing trip. He paid particular attention to the wrecking 
business, raising or salving many vessels wrecked on the Massa- 
chusetts coast. 

John Henry Cook was a member of his crew on two occasions 
when expeditions were made to the Spanish Main to recover 
treasure lying in vessels sunk there.

* Captain Martin Lincoln's title came to him from the militia and 

not from the sea, for he was a farmer and tilled the land which 

his ancestors had tilled from 1750. The occupation of farming 

was his daily occupation from boyhood until within twenty years 

of his death. 

In his younger days he had the monopoly of such simple law 
business as could be transacted by the country justice of the 
peace. He was at one time president of the Cohasset Mutual 
Fire Insurance Company, but did no other insurance business. In 
the last years of his life he was president of the Cohasset Savings 
Bank. 

He was a man of good judgment, conservative in his ideas and 
was a citizen who enjoyed the confidence and respect of his fellow 
townsmen, who elected him to serve as their representative twice 
in the Massachusetts Legislature, as well as on the Board of 
Selectmen for many years. Under his supervision was built that 
portion of South Main Street running across the meadow by the 
Catholic Church, known for many years as the "New Road." 
He also straightened Beechwood Street at what is known as the 
"Point of Rocks."

During the Civil War he was active in recruiting. A man of 
very few words, and those uttered with the utmost moderation, he 
seemed to typify in his dignified bearing the Puritan, of which type 
he was the last representative. Albeit of a disposition which did 
not encourage familiarity, he was not without a sense of humor, 
as is shown by the following anecdote related of him. At one 
time at a meeting of the Selectmen for making up the annual 
accounts for the town book it was suggested by him that James 
H. Nichols must have a bill against the Town which had not 
been presented, namely for "Removing Snow from South Main 
Street." As Mr. Nichols had during the year married Miss 
Ruth Snow, of South Main Street, and removed her to his 
home on the Common, the application of the witticism was easily 
perceived.

* Levi N. Bates, who was a member of the School Committee 
for twenty-eight years, brought to that office a mind better 
stored with learning than is customarily found in the person of a 
country storekeeper. He early in life devoted himself to the 
study of the French language and became proficient in its use, both 
in conversation and readmg. He organized classes of young people, 
whom he taught without pay, and by his influence had the study 
of this language carried to a point in the Cohasset High School 
further than was then pursued in many colleges. His influence 
m this respect is still felt in the High School course. 

He was also proficient in the use of the Spanish and Portuguese 
languages. 

He was a lover of music, as was natural in the son of the man 
who made the first two pianos owned in Cohasset. 



504 History of Cohasset. 

He also was an amateur in the fine art of painting, and did work 
in this line which was not without merit. The flower garden more 
than the kitchen garden appealed to him. In short his was one 
of those fine grained natures which took pleasure in the aesthetic 
side of life. 

He was the village apothecary for years and was the treasurer 
of the Cohasset Savings Bank up to the time of his death.

* Edward Tower, while he served the town in the different 
offices enumerated above, will be best remembered as a member of 
the School Committee, of which he was a member twenty-three 
years, from the time when the schools were conducted under the 
district system up to the time when something like a system of 
graded schools was being evolved. A school master himself when 
a young man, he understood the needs of the schools and was 
especially well versed in everything pertaining to their physical 
welfare. 

He acted as postmaster for many years in the northerly end of 
the building now occupied by Norris Brothers, and in addition 
did what surveying was called for in the town.

* Abraham H. Tower, known as Captain Tower, or as Captain 
Abraham Hubbard, was one of the solid citizens of the town. 
The pronunciation of his middle name Hobart as Hubbard, which 
was the only pronunciation used by people of his own age, was 
not incorrect, but was the pronunciation brought over from England, 
where it is so pronounced to-day. And Captain Tower served as 
a link between the old and the new in other ways than in the 
pronunciation of his name. 

In the old meeting house he was always found in his pew on 
Sunday, carrying out the old fashioned custom of standing during 
the prayer. And in his house on the plain the ample fireplaces

' served their purpose of giving heat long after they had been 
bricked up in other houses in the town, while every year his w^ood 
lots furnished a goodly store of wood for these same fireplaces, 
which was piled in the yard by the side of the house. 

Early in his life he followed in the footsteps of his father as a 
vessel owner, and almost the last vessel built in Cohasset, the 
Charlotte, was owned by him. Many of the vessels owned, or 
partly owned by him, were engaged wholly or in part in foreign 
commerce, but many of them, and in the latter part of his life, 
all of them, were fishing vessels. 

A huge pile of cord wood placed on the Common opposite 
his house, and reaching to the foot of the hiU, was consumed every 
summer in these fishing vessels. 

He also conducted a large farm and brought up in his family 
many boys who served their time on his vessels or on the farm. 
For some years he was president of the savmgs bank and of the 
fire insurance company.

* Joseph Osgood (bom 1815, died 1898) for nearly sLxty years 
was an important factor in shaping and influencing the lives of 
the citizens of Cohasset. In the year 1839 and 1840, while a 
student at the Harvard Divinity School, he taught in the little 
schoolhouse on the rocks, where now stands St. Stephen's Church. 
He often said in later years that on his first visit to Cohasset, as the 
stage-coach which conveyed him from the Hingham boat rose over 



5o6 History of Cohasset. 

the hill leading on to the Common, he thought, — " This is a 
town where I should like to spend the rest of my days." That 
exactly this thing happened shows the peculiar disposition of the 
man, which enabled him to remain in a small country town for 
nearly sixty years, occupying positions, the retention of which 
depended upon the whims of the populace. During the early 
years of his pastorate, there was no Catholic church in the town, 
and the Irish and Portuguese found in him the counselor and friend 
ordinarily sought for in the priest of the parish. 

For forty-five years, either as member of the school-committee 
or as superintendent of schools, he had a powerful influence in 
shaping the policy of the public school system in Cohasset. Even 
in his old age he was anxious that the Cohasset schools should have 
the benefit of whatever was newest and most advanced in methods 
of teaching. 

When he entered on his parochial duties as minister of the First 
Parish the feeling of bitterness engendered by the secession from 
his church of a number of families for the formation of another 
church was still strong, but long before his death that feeling had 
entirely passed away; a result brought about as much by his atti- 
tude as any one thing. The writer well remembers an incident 
that occurred when, between the pastorates of Mr. Savage and Mr. 
Biglow of the Second Church, that parish was left without a min- 
ister, that he entered the vestry of the latter church on the occasion 
of the annual parish supper and found Dr. Osgood seated in the 
midst of the assembled company, his venerable white head and 
beaming smile seeming to bestow a benediction on all. This 
popularity was gained without the use of any other means than 
that of a good life simply lived in the midst of his townspeople.

incumbent. As a young man he learned the trade of stair builder 
and worked in the store of his father, Caleb Lothrop. For many 
years he was custom house officer for the port of Cohasset and at 
one time acted in that capacity as well for the ports of Hingham 
and Hull. He was justice of the peace and drew deeds and mort- 
gages and wills. He also acted as executor of wills and adminis- 
trator of estates. 

He was secretary of the Cohasset Mutual Fire Insurance Com- 
pany, and after the death of Captain Martin Lincoln was president 
of the Cohasset Savings Bank. He also represented Cohasset in 
the State Legislature. But he will be best remembered as select- 
man, assessor and overseer of the poor, and moderator of the town 
meetings. There is no question but that his services to the Town 
in these various capacities were notable. At the time of his 
death he was a member of the board of County Commissioners of 
Norfolk County. 

He enjoyed the confidence of the summer residents and it wa 
largely through his exertions that the corporation tax of the West 
End Street Railway was secured for Cohasset in 1886 and until 
its final distribution. 

While keeping a watchful eye on the appropriations of the town 
in order that the tax rate might be kept at the lowest point con- 
sistent, he was always in favor of liberal appropriations for those 
things which tended to advance Cohasset and make it a desirable 
town to live in — good schools, good roads, etc. 

As moderator he was unique, a law unto himself. His admin- 
istration of the ofiice was not accordnig to Cushing's Manual, 
but according to the Manual of J. Q. A. Lothrop, and while this 
often aroused strenuous opposition, his conduct of the office was 
so satisfactory to the majority of the voters that he was re-elected 
year after year. He knew every voter in town and could call 
him by name as he approached the ballot box. 

As school committee man he also rendered efficient service to 
the town.

the position of Town Treasurer for a longer time than any other 
incumbent of that office. His continuous re-election to the office 
showed the confidence reposed in him by his fellow citizens. As a 
boy he obtained his business training in the office of the Revere 
Copper Company in Boston, and later in life carried on, in 
connection with his brother Newcomb, the fishing business 
inherited from his father, to which was added the coal and 
lumber business.

EDWARD E TOWER 



MUSICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF COHASSET. 

By Burgess C. Tower. 

There seems to be no record of any organized musical society 
in Cohasset previous to the formation of the Atlantic Musical Asso- 
ciation (except the church choirs with accompanying instruments), 
and the brief and necessarily incomplete account of that organiza- 
tion, as given in this article, is compiled chiefly from recollections 
of surviving members and from a few short newspaper items. 

The prime mover in band and orchestra organizations of this 
town was Edward E. Tower. He was born in Cohasset in 1834, 
and his intense interest in promoting musical affairs from the 
amateur's standpoint covered a period of over forty years. His 
enthusiasm continued from early boyhood to the last year of his 
life. 

Capt. Henry J. Hallgreen, who had lived in Cohasset for a short 
time when a boy, and who later became intimate with Edward E. 
Tower, when both as young men were commencing their business 
careers in Boston, has kindly furnished an account of the first 
bands with which they were both connected. It will be noted that 
among the original members, William W. Lothrop, Benjamin Snow 
Joy, and Benjamin F. Smith were also Cohasset boys. It may be 
of interest to know that Captain Hallgreen at the beginning of the 
Civil War was with the Massachusetts 2d Batt. Infantry, sta- 
tioned at Fort Warren, and was the originator of the setting of the 
words " John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave " to an 
old gospel tune. This was taken up by Gilmore's Band, and 
immediately became one of our best known patriotic songs. A 
detailed account of this song may be found in Elson's " History of 
American Music," which can be procured at the Paul Pratt Memo- 
rial Library. Captain Hallgreen's story is given in full.

5i6 History of Cohasset. 

HISTORY OF THE TREMONT SERENADE BAND. 

About 1852 there lived at the old north end of Boston, three close 
friends and chums, who might have been seen daily from April 'till Octo- 
ber enjoying a swim at the marine railway; Geo. Beals Willcutt, who 
lived with his parents in Salutation Street, Edw. E. Tower of same resi- 
dence, and yours truly, Henry J. Hallgreen of Tileston Street, I began 
about this time a course of lessons on the violin, with the celebrated 
John Holloway, author of "Wood Up." Tower liked the idea and at 
once procured a fiddle, and I brought my lessons and exercises down to 
Willcutt's as fast as I received them. He progressed rapidly and con- 
ceived the idea of a serenade band. We got William W. Lothrop and 
Benjamin Snow Joy interested, and branched out as the Tower-Hallgreen 
Serenade Band, with an idea of picnic party music as follows: Tower, 
Violin primo, Hallgreen, Viola, Joy, Violin secundo, and Benj. F. Smith, 
Bass Comet. We had hardly begun when the irrepressible E. E. T. 
thought a real orchestral brass band would be about the proper thing, 
consequently we changed over, Edward got an Eb comet, I took up the 
Bb, Henry A. Lyford and his brother Thomas J. joined, and chose Et» 
and Alto hom; Edwin Emerson and Philip Wyatt took Tenor, B. F. 
Smith, ist Bass, Wm. H. Lowery and Allen P. Boyce took up Tenor and 
2nd Bass. 

You must remember they were all without previous practice or knowl- 
edge of their instmment. We later engaged J. D'Anguerra as Band 
teacher, to teach us as a Band. We used the Lyford carpenter shop in 
Barrett St. for Band room, and made great proficiency in our various 
parts, Antonio D'Anguerra, son of our teacher, who was a pretty good 
player, joined to play Bb comet. 

Our Band had grown, and now consisted of the following members 
as the Tremont Serenade Band. 

Edward E. Tower, First Eb, Leader. 

Henry A. Lyford, Second Eb. 

Henry J. Hallgreen, First Bb. 

Antonio D'Anguerra, Bb. 

Thomas J. Lyford, Alto hom. 

J. Thos. Baldwin, Alto horn. 

Philip Wyatt, Tenor. 

Wm. H. Lowery, Tenor. 

Edwin Emerson, Trombone. 

Benj. F. Smith, First Bass. 

Allen P. Boyce, Second Bass. 

Marshall P. Wild, Bass Dmm. 



Musical Associations of Cohasset. 517 

We serenaded friends in Boston, notably Alderman Edward A. White, 
who married John Simmons' daughter, and became manager of the 
immense Simmons estate. We visited Cohasset about as fast as we 
learned a new piece. Later we were given a room in the Cooper Street 
Armory, where we became acquainted with the American Artillery, 
Cowdin Artillery, and other companies in the Armory. We played for 
them on their parades, which came pretty often in those days: on one 
occasion the American Artillery went to Stoneham, we were caught in a 
furious rain storm and all hands deserted to the nearest bam. Our last 
band room was on Atkinson St. (now Congress St.). On our parades 
we hired Sam'l C. Perkins, a band leader and composer, to assist on the 
leading Eb cornet, and occasionally Geo. B. Morse on the Bb; he be- 
longed to the Chelsea Brass Band. We were broken up at last by hav- 
ing too many engagements, three for one day, of which we accepted the 
Christ Church picnic, after which we split up. Tower, myself, Lyford 
and Smith decided to stick to business, as we had reached the serenade 
limit. D'Anguerra, Baldwin, Boyce and Lowery joined other bands 
and continued in music for years. Thus ended the old band from which 
we had all derived much comfort and many happy days. 

Henry J. Hallgreen. 

After the Civil War had ended, there wsls great demand for 
patriotic music, and local military bands were formed in many 
towns. In Cohasset a few of the young men decided to take up, 
for recreation, study on various brass instruments, and Mr. Tower 
was invited to instruct them. Other members were added and a 
permanent organization effected, the name Atlantic Musical Asso- 
ciation having been adopted. A set of band instruments was 
purchased, and loaned to the members, many of whom later bought 
their own instruments. 

In 1867 a Constitution and set of By-laws were printed, to which 
was added the list of officers and members, stating the instrument 
each played. This list, together with the Preamble of the Consti- 
tution may be of sufficient interest to be quoted. 

PREAMBLE. 

We hereby propose to form a Musical Association having for its object 
recreation and instruction, and knowing that such an Association, unless 
governed by proper rules and regulations must fail to accomplish its 
purpose, hereby agree to conform to the following Articles as fixed and 
permanent rules for the government of the same.

As proficiency was acquired, numerous requests for the services 
of the band at various entertainments and gatherings were made, 
and a search through the files of the Hingham Journal gives us 
brief particulars of a few of these occasions. 

Music was furnished at installation of ofiicers of Konohasset 
Lodge A. F. & A. M., on July 4, 1866. In the following September 
a serenade was given to Major William B. Johnson. In connection 
with this last statement it may be well to add that serenading seems 
to have been a decidedly popular part of the band's duties at that 
time. Newly married couples were usually the recipients of this 
compliment from the Association. Among those so favored were 
Messrs. John Bates, Jan. 30, 1870, A. A. Lawrence, Oliver A. 
Brown. 



Musical Associations of Cohasset. 519 

In March, 1868, a concert by the Association was given at Hing- 
ham, under the auspices of the AgricuUural Society. Miss Mary 
Percival (Mrs. Lorirnan S. Brigham) and a quartet, consisting of 
Mr. and Mrs. Louis N. Lincoln, Mrs. Helen Tower, and Mr. Caleb 
F. Nichols, assisted. According to the newspaper account of this 
affair, gratifying skill was shown in the rendering of the several 
selections. 

On May 3 the band played at the first anniversary of the organ- 
ization of Minot's Light Lodge of Good Templars, and in the fol- 
lowing July played at a strawberry festival in Hingham. 

One year later, in July, i86g, an outdoor concert was given at 
Fountain Square, Hingham, by the Atlantic Musical Association 
and Hingham Brass Band consolidated, and after the concert a 
collation was served by the Hingham musicians. At midnight 
several prominent Hingham residents were serenaded by the 
Cohasset Band. 

On May 7, 1870, the Centennial Anniversary of Cohasset was 
celebrated, and our band took a prominent part in the programme, 
beginning with a concert at 7 a.m., on the Common, furnishing the 
music for the procession which was formed at the depot on arrival 
of Governor Claflin, with state officials and other distinguished 
guests. 

At about this time a small orchestra was organized of band mem- 
bers, which gave dances and promenade concerts, to raise money 
for new instruments and music. 

Caleb Lothrop entertained the band on the occasion of his 
twenty-first birthday, and a pleasant evening was spent with music 
and refreshments. From this time until 1877 little data appear 
to be on record concerning the Association. Probably during these 
years chorus singing proved a greater attraction, as will be seen 
below. In 1877 the Atlantic Musical Association was reorganized, 
Edward E. Tower again made its Director, and on Thanksgiving 
Evening a successful promenade concert was given at the Town 
Hall by the band, assisted by vocal talent. 

It was in the early eighties that the band furnished music for 
the Scituate Grand Army Post, Decoration Day, on two or three 
occasions. In later years, as will be seen, it formed the nucleus 
of the Cohasset Musical Association.

COHASSET CHORAL UNION. 

It has been impossible to ascertain the date of organization of 
this society, but the files of the Hingham Journal have again been 
of great assistance in determining the facts given below. 

The Cantata " Belshazzar's Feast" was performed April 2, 1874, 
with the following impersonation: 

Belshazzar (King of Babylon) Mr. Philander Bates. 

Daniel Mr. Louis N. Lincoln. 

Hananiah Rev. M. A. Stevens. 

High Priest Mr. Caleb F. Nichols. 

Nitocris (The Queen) Miss Jennie B. Tower. 

I Mrs. Louis N. Lincoln. 
Mrs. Henry C. Tower. 
Miss Elizabeth C. Bates. 
The Reading Rev. Joseph Osgood. 

Two weeks later, April 16, 1874, this cantata was repeated at 
Duxbury, and we quote from the correspondent of the Hingham 
Journal. 

North ScrruAXE, April 20. 
"On Thursday evening, i6th inst., by previous announcement, the 
Cohasset Choral Union, conducted by Edward E. Tower, Esq., ren- 
dered the cantata of * Belshazzar's Feast ' at Duxbury. Owing to the 
indisposition of a member in one of the leading parts, the services of Mr. 
A. M. Bell of Boston were secured. By politeness of a friend your cor- 
respondent was invited to take the special train for the occasion, which 
was accepted, and which we improved by a trip to the old historic town. 
On arriving at Duxbury we found coaches in readiness to transport the 
one hundred and fifty sojourners to the Congregational Church, one mile 
distant. The church at an early hour gave signs of a good audience, and 
at eight o'clock precisely, the conductor's baton announced a grand over- 
ture by the orchestral performers, which was followed by a chorus of 
forty voices. It is useless to attempt to criticise a company of well- 
trained performers, therefore, we would merely re-echo the public senti- 
ment, which manifested itself in the repeated encores, if it were not 
hat special mention should be made of the bass soloists, Messrs. Phi- 
lander Bates and Caleb F. Nichols; tenors, A. M. Bell and Louis N. 
Lincoln; sopranos, Mrs. Henry C. Tower, Misses Lizzie C. Bates and 



Musical Associations of C okas set. 521 

Jennie B. Tower; altos, Mrs. Louis N. Lincoln and Miss Frances 
Nichols, who fairly excelled all former efforts; and credit was also due 
Mr. Bell, for his admirable effort, having had the advantage of but one 
rehearsal in one of the most difihcult parts." 

On December 21, 1874, the Union gave the cantata at the Town 
Hall, Cohasset, entitled "The Pilgrim Fathers." 

On January 26, 1877, ^^ was announced that the society had reor- 
ganized under direction of Professor L. A. Torrens of Boston, and 
that it was hoped to give a concert in the early spring. 

One and possibly more concerts were given under Mr. Torrens' 
direction, but I have been unable to find out more concerning 
them. 

On March 17, 1879, "The Haymakers," a cantata by Root, was 
given by the Choral Union, and the performance was repeated two 
nights later. Delegations from Hingham, Weymouth, and Scituate 
were present. Among those who took prominent parts were 
Philander Bates as the Farmer, William R. Collier as William, 
Caleb Lothrop as John, Frank McCIure as Snipkins, Miss Drusilla 
S. Percival as Mary, Miss Elizabeth C. Bates as Anna, and Miss 
Sarah Nichols (Mrs. E. Herbert Towle) as the Dairy Maid. 

An Old Folks' Concert was given in 1879, and it was announced 
that " Ye Choral Union will be assisted by Miss Ella J. Spoor, who 
will sing and by Mr. Waldo F. Bates, who will blow a very worldlie 
tune on ye cornet." Also that "Goodman Collier, down from 
Boston, will sing a nautical song called Jack's Farewell," that 
" Nabor Edward Tower will play a tune on ye flute and his darter 
will accompany him on ye new fangled Spinnet called ye Pianny," 
and that "A Collection of young menne and maidens will play a 
sprightly tune called Ye Kinder Symphony, on divers instruments." 

In February, 1880, the Cohasset Choral Union gave on two suc- 
cessive evenings the cantata " Esther, the Beautiful Queen," to a 
large audience. Appropriate scenery and costumes were used, and 
an enthusiastic review of this performance was given in the Hing- 
ham Journal. Caleb Lothrop took the part of the King and Miss 
Drusilla Percival that of Queen Esther. William R. Collier was 
Mordecai, and E. P. Collier, Haman. Newcomb B. Tower was 
the musical director. 



522 History of Cohasset. 

In December, 1880, rehearsals were begun for another 
performance of the "Haymakers," and for the rendering of 
" Ruth," a cantata by Broad. Miss Elizabeth C. Bates took 
the part of Ruth. 

An entertainment was given at about this time in aid of the 
society, at which Messrs. G. H. Wilson, B. S. Knapp, and 
E. E. Cutler gave the operetta of "Cox and Box," composed by 
Sullivan. 

On February 24, 1881, another performance of the "Haymakers" 
took place under the direction of Newcomb B. Tower, with the 
following cast: 

Mary Miss Drusilla S. Percival. 

Anna Miss Elizabeth C. Bates. 

The Dairymaid Miss Minnie Snow. 

William William R. Collier. 

The Farmer Philander Bates. 

Snipkins Edmund P. Collier. 

John Caleb Lothrop. 

This was given in costume, and elaborate stage "property," 
including thunder, lightning, and rain devices added much to the 
enjoyment of the audience. 



COHASSET MUSICAL ASSOCIATION. 

In 1883 Edward E. Tower undertook the still larger enterprise of 
organizing an orchestra in which the young ladies of the town 
could take part. This became known as the Cohasset Musical 
Association, and after many rehearsals at Atlantic HaU, over the 
Tower Dairy, a concert was given, September 20,1883, in the Town 
Hall, thirty-four performers participating, playing the various 
string, wind, and percussion instruments which make up an orches- 
tra. Of these nearly one half were ladies, a unique feature in 
orchestras at that time. After this a more permanent organization 
was effected, and at a business meeting held at Atlantic Hall, Sep- 
tember 30th, Edw. E. Tower was made chairman, and the name 
officially selected as above stated. 



Musical Associations of Cohasset. 523 

It was voted to choose a board of officers, consisting of three 
directors, a treasurer, a clerk, and a librarian. Elmer F. Olmsted 
was chosen clerk, Henry P. Furber treasurer, and Geo. W. Collier 
librarian. It was voted also that the board of directors consist of 
three members, in connection with the other officers. Edw. E. 
Tower, Daniel N. Tower, and Caleb Lothrop were chosen directors, 
who were authorized to conduct the business of the association as 
they should deem proper. 

Many of the townspeople and summer residents cooperated 
with the active members most heartily, and became associate mem- 
bers, paying annual dues of three dollars, thereby being entitled to 
a free admission to all concerts or rehearsals. Both active and 
associate members had a limited number of complimentary tickets 
for their friends. All money received for membership fees was 
used for the purchase of music, instruments, and for instruction if 
so desired. 

Mr. James O. Freeman of Boston was engaged for instruction on 
the violin, viola, and violoncello, and classes were immediately 
formed. Mr. Tower not only directed the full rehearsals, but 
held extra rehearsals for the brass instrument performers, 
many of whom had previously belonged to the Atlantic Musical 
Association. 

Miss Edith J. Tower (Mrs. Chas. W. Gammons) a little 
later succeeded Mr. Freeman as instructor on the violin and 
viola. 

On February 28, 1884, the orchestra was engaged to furnish one 
of the entertainments given by the People's Course of Entertain- 
ments, and gratuitously gave its services. 

Under date of March 29, 1884, the Cohasset Cottager invited Mr. 
Tower to make a statement regarding the Association, and it may 
be interesting to read his exact words, as characteristic of the man. 
*' We are doing very well considering the short time since our organ- 
ization, about ten months, far better than I could have expected. 
'What,' musicians say to me, 'eight young ladies in a small town 
like Cohasset playing the 'cello and all of them taking lessons of a 
competent teacher? We could hardly find as many in our large 
cities who would be willing to undertake it, much less to devote time 
and money to it; but one thing is sure, they will find it a most fas- 



524 History of Cohasset. 

cinating instrument, and once interested in it, they will never give 
it up; with violins it is now acknowledged to be the instrument of 
the future for ladies, and we do not wonder that you have so many 
applicants for it.' Our success so far has in a great measure been 
owing to the fact that in the choice of members our directors have 
selected only those who have more than an average knowledge of 
music. Of our twelve young ladies who have taken up the violin 
and viola, there is not one but is a creditable performer on the piano, 
while many of them have made music a study for the past ten years, 
and are or have been pupils of Petersilea, Sherwood, Lang, Mrs. 
Page, and others of equal note in Boston. Among the male mem- 
bers are three young gentlemen from Hingham who have been of 
the greatest assistance, while the old Atlantic Musical Association 
builded better than it knew when it furnished us so much material 
for our orchestra. We now number about fifty active members, 
nearly one half of whom are ladies. New additions now proposed 
will give us four double basses, one tuba, and one oboe. We shall 
then have every instrument usually found in a full orchestra. 

** As to new members, this is our trouble; we want them and many 
young people are hard at work; but a musical education is not 
acquired in a few months; it is a work of years, and although imper- 
fect, its adaptation to an instrument renders success more than half 
achieved, and with a taste and love for music it is not so difficult to 
fit one's self for active membership. 

"I now propose to form a sort of primary class and as soon as 
the members of said class become sufficiently advanced, their 
names will be submitted to the board of directors for approval, and 
if accepted, will at once be assigned their work in the orchestra. 
I am promised the hearty cooperation of the regular members, who 
will assist this class, and I think it will prove of mutual advantage to 
both. Our class rehearsals will take place Wednesday evenings.' ' 

The quotation as above certainly shows the time, energy, and 
enthusiasm which Mr. Tower devoted to this work. 

In order to participate in the Memorial Day Exercises of 1884, 
a brass band was organized, consisting of Cohasset Musical Asso- 
ciation members. Twenty-six men played for the Grand Army 
Post on this occasion, both for the marching and at the collation in 
the Town Hall. The Cottager remarked that the Band surprised 



Musical Associations of Cohasset. 525 

the natives by their excellent music, but needed considerable prac- 
tice in marching. 

The summer concert given by the orchestra in the July following 
proved most successful, and music still more difficult was executed. 
This concert was hardly over when Mr. Tower was again at work 
with the band, and an open air concert on the Common was the 
outcome. After this concert Dr. Newcomb L. Damon and Mr. 
Edwin F. Souther were serenaded. The band then proceeded to 
do the same at Mr. Louis N. Lincoln's and not until after midnight 
were the members dispersed. 

In the next month was held the fair given by Henry Bryant Post 
98 G. A. R., and on the first night the Association Band struck up 
a lively march as the Post, with their guests, entered the hall. The 
programme of the second night's entertainment of this fair con- 
sisted entirely of musical selections by the band. 

The fall concert showed still further advance in proficiency, and 
an increased membership of fifty-two, including six double bass 
players. The list of members given in the Cottager of October 11, 
1884, may be of interest, showing that the membership was then 
increased to sixty-five.

In an address to the members published in the Cottager, Mr. 
Tower stated in vigorous language the necessity for prompt attend- 
ance at rehearsals, and gave an itemized statement of the amounts 
paid out for the needs of the Association during the first year of its 
existence. The total amount was $2445.00, including $1300.00 for 
stringed instruments alone. 

No assessment of any kind was ever required from active mem- 
bers, their only expense having been a small rental for the use of an 



Musical Associations of Cohasset. 527 

instrument, with the privilege of later purchasing said instrument 
if so desired. 

In the Presidential campaign of 1884 the band of the Associa- 
tion showed its non-partisanship by playing for both Republican 
and Democratic rallies. 

On January 23, 1885, the Association, J5fty-eight strong, gave 
a concert at Loring Hall, Hingham, for the benefit of the 
fund for a church parlor for the First Church of Hingham. 

One week later the services of our musicians were again sought 
after by the People's Course of Entertainments, and a pleasing 
programme was rendered. 

For two years more the Association continued to give orchestral 
concerts, in each of which approximately eighty performers took 
part, the nearby towns and Boston furnishing representatives. 
The assistance of professional musicians was requested, in order 
to strengthen the weak places, and former members will 
recall many of their names, such as Joseph Fennelly, at one 
time with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Wulf Fries, the 
well known 'cellist, Carl Trautman, one ^of the older gen- 
eration of German musicians; De Ribas, the oboist, and 
Eltz, the bassoonist. Mrs. Nichols, now the director of the 
Fadette Orchestra, played with the first vioHns, and was a soloist 
at one of the concerts. Gerard Russo, the harpist, at one time 
assisted. Arthur Foote, pianist and composer, was one of the 
soloists at the third annual autumn concert, and one of his own 
compositions for 'cello, "The Romance," was played by Wulf 
Fries, to the accompaniment of the composer. Miss Gertrude 
Edmands was soloist at one concert. 

The character of the selections was greatly in advance of those 
of the earlier concerts, the Association on one occasion rendering 
Haydn's " Symphony in D Major." 

To the best of our knowledge the last orchestral concert given by 
the full orchestra took place September 27, 1887. Mr. Tower, how- 
ever, was not satisfied with a purely orchestral organization. A 
chorus had to be added, and the following circular, sent out to 
choir members of Cohasset and neighboring towns, is self- 
explanatory: 



528 History of Cokasset. 

CoHASSET, December i, 1887. 
You are hereby invited to take part in the next rehearsal of the Cohasset 
Musical Association. With the assistance already offered it is hoped to 
form a chorus of from one to two hundred voices, and that members of 
any choir or past musical organization will take a prominent part. The 
first preparatory rehearsal will take place at Atlantic Hall, Monday even- 
ing, December 5, 1887. You are cordially invited to be present. 
Per order Board of Directors, 

C. Nichols, Clerk. 

Mr. Tower had become very much interested in choral society 
work, having been elected, in 1885, the first director of the newly 
organized Hingham Choral Society. 

"The Holy City," an oratorio composed by Alfred R. Gaul, was 
given at the Town Hall, Cohasset, June 17th, 1888. The program 
states that members of the Hingham Choral Society and choirs of 
East Weymouth, Wollaston, and Scituate assisted the local singers. 
The following soloists took part: 

First Soprano Miss Jessie E. Ollivier. 

Second Soprano Miss Meriam L. Slade. 

First Alto Miss Georgie Nixon. 

Second Alto Miss Pauline Hammond.

The oratorio "Emmanuel," composed by J. Elliot Trowbridge, 
was next given, June 30, 1889, and as this was the most ambitious 
undertaking in the history of the Association, a portion of the pro- 
gramme is given below, showing the scale on which it was con- 
ducted.

The vocal department of the association will be augmented by 
members of the Hingham, East Weymouth, and Wollaston Musical 
Societies, making a grand chorus of over 150 voices, with the Full 
Association Orchestra, numbering 75 members, and a boy choir of 
25 voices. 

Rehearsals were later begun of another oratorio, "The Ten 
Virgins," by Gaul, but the project was abandoned. 

But few more years were to be allotted to Edw. E. Tower's life, 
and during this time nothing more was done in large orchestra or 
chorus work. His enthusiasm for music continued unabated, and 
we find him directing a band, organized for the occasion, which 
took part in the exercises on Columbus Day in 1892. This band 
was composed principally of former Atlantic Musical Association 
members, and members of the Beechwood Band. This latter 
organization had done excellent work, and had given many con- 
certs in Beechwood and elsewhere. 

A boys' band was next organized, with Mr. Tower, as usual, 
directing, and again followed a succession of performances at enter- 



530 History oj Cohasset. 

tainments, lawn parties, and open air concerts. A small orchestra 
was added, and at a concert given June 20, 1894, the band and 
orchestra alternately played selections. Miss Bessie Bell Collier 
played in the orchestra and rendered a violin solo. 

Forty years of musical service of Edward E. Tower were thus 
completed. This performance was the last in which he partici- 
pated, his death occurring in April, 1896. He thoroughly enjoyed 
every minute of this activity, but in his band work particularly the 
idea of service to the community undoubtedly promoted his interest 
in the musical welfare of the town. Mr. Edmund P. Collier so 
well expressed this idea in an obituary written for the Boston 
Transcript, at the time of Mr. Tower's death, that the liberty is 
taken of giving two quotations from that notice. 

" His idea was that the best way to keep a boy out of the street 
and away from the bar room was to teach him the use of some 
musical instrument, and thus put him in possession of a means, 
of enjoyment which would refine and elevate rather than 
debase." 

"All this work was done in time snatched from a very active 
business hfe, and was given to the citizens of the town gratuitously, 
with no reward asked for or expected, more than the conscious- 
ness of having added to their entertainment and musical 
culture." 

The limited scope of this article does not permit me to narrate 
in detail regarding the bands and orchestras that have been organ- 
ized in recent years. Much could be told of the Beechwood Band 
mentioned above, the Cohasset Guild Band, directed by Waldo F. 
Bates of North Scituate, in which Rev. Milo H. Gates took such 
an active interest, and of the " South Shore Band " which George 
P. Tower has conducted, the last named having very recently 
participated in the Taft-Bryan political campaign of 1908. 

Since about 1890 Elmer F. Olmstead has directed an or- 
chestra of from twelve to fifteen members, nearly all of whom 
belonged to the Cohasset Musical Association, and much enjoy- 
ment has been derived by these members at their rehearsals and 
participation in church entertainments and other social assembhes. 
At Union Vesper services given in the winter of 1907-08 by the 
First and Second Congregational Churches of Cohasset, this 



Musical Associations of Cohasset. 531 

orchestra assisted the choirs in musical programmes made up of 
compositions by classical composers. 

In attempting to give a record of these musical societies, doubt- 
less many events of importance have unintentionally been omitted. 
What has been told, however, may bring pleasant recollections to 
the minds of many who took part in the performances of the seven- 
ties and eighties. Possibly those of the younger generation may be 
surprised at the musical activity shown at that time. 

The influence of those earher societies is still felt and many a 
member of the present day bands, choirs, and orchestras can trace 
the origin of his interest in music to the days of the Atlantic Musical 
Association, Cohasset Choral Union, or Cohasset Musical Associa- 
tion. 



COHASSET'S DEEP SEA CAPTAINS. 

By Edmund Pomeroy Collier. 

In the year 1800, or thereabouts, young Southward Pratt left 
his father's house in Cohasset on a morning in summer for the 
prosaic purpose of driving the cows to pasture, a task he had per- 
formed since he had been able to trudge at their heels and put up 
and take down the bars of the fence which confined them in their 
pasture. 

It had been his custom also to go for the cows at night and bring 
them home, but on that particular night the cows stood at the bars 
lowing in vain to be let out and taken home to the barn to be 
milked. But their young driver did not make his appearance that 
evening nor for many a day after, for young Southward Pratt had 
responded to the call of the sea, which called to him as he stood 
at the pasture bars, and had " run away to sea." 

Three years afterward young Mercy Gannett, who had come 
from Scituate to live out at the Pratts, in those days when the 
hired girl was an equal of the members of the family for whom 
she worked, started one summer afternoon to get the cows and 
bring them home. But as she approached the pasture she found 
the bars being taken down by a young man, whose cheeks, burned 
by the sun and wind of foreign climes, showed that his calhng 
was that of a sailor, who informed her that he would drive the 
cows home. Mercy hastened home with the report that a strange 
young man had taken away the cows from her. 

It was young Southward Pratt, who, returning from three years 
voyaging over foreign seas, had resumed the task, dropped so 
abruptly by him, of driving the cows. This true story ended as 
it naturally should by Southward and Mercy in time becoming 
man and wife, and is only introduced here as the opening of this 
chapter on deep sea captains as an illustration of the irresistible 
call of the sea for the boys of Cohasset. 

That the inhabitants of Cohasset should have been a sea- 
faring race was as inevitable as that the city of Tyre on the

CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 533 

coast of Phoenicia should have furnished a nation of sailors 
and merchants. 

In Cohasset's early days there was every inducement toward 
shipbuilding and seafaring. The virgin forests stood ready to 
supply the oak and pine necessary for the construction of the 
vessel. Young men, eager to take up the adventurous life of the 
sailor, awaited the completion of the craft, each one confident 
that a few years of experience and hard work would find him in 
command of a ship of his own. 

In the days of small craft, before the huge steel leviathans were 
even imagined, before the railways had compelled the distribution 
of cargoes from a few ports, when the little town of Salem rivaled 
Boston as a port through which trade with India was carried on, 
it was not unusual for a seacoast town of the size of Cohasset to 
send forth square-rigged, deep sea vessels, built and manned 
from captain to cabin boy by her own sons. The constitution 
of the State, recognizing this fact, permitted the study of navi- 
gation in its High Schools. 

What a change has the passing of the years wrought in the life 
of Cohasset in this respect! Where two or three shipyards turned 
out annually vessels furnishing occupation for her ship carpenters, 
sailors and fishermen; where wharves, extending at intervals from 
the head of the cove to Hominy Point on one side of the harbor 
and to the Gulf Stream on the other, served as berths for a crowd 
of merchantmen, fishermen, and packets, now the echo of the 
mallet and adze has long since died away, and the vessels of 
various descriptions which formerly filled the harbor have 
departed never to return. 

In their place we see a fleet of pleasure craft and power dories, 
and Cohasset, once a town furnishing employment to its inhabi- 
tants within its borders, serves now as a bedroom for men and 
women earning their living in Boston. 

Twenty-five years ago, sea captains, men who had sailed their 
ships and carried the flag of their country to every part of the 
globe, were a common sight on our streets. To-day Cohasset 
cannot boast of a man living within its borders who has ever 
commanded a square-rigged vessel, and but few sailors who have 
been in foreign ports. This change, while it is, perhaps, to be 



534 History of Cohasset. 

regretted, is one which has been brought about by the new con- 
ditions under which business of every kind is transacted to-day. 

Since the seafaring vocation of Cohasset and the men who 
followed it are no more, it behooves us to make a matter of 
record of the men and the vessels hailing from Cohasset in those 
good old days. But, alas, we have taken up this task too late. Of 
the very early masters there is barely more than the record of 
their names. In some cases the families to which they belonged 
have died out, or have departed from the town, and it is not 
strange that no record is left behind of their vessels and voyages, 
for in but a few instances can be obtained complete records of 
the voyages of captains whose children are living to-day. If, 
therefore, this chapter fails to give as full a record of each cap- 
tain as might be desired, it is only because such records are not 
obtainable. 

Not a few square-rigged vessels were built at Cohasset and 
hailed from it, but the schooner then, as to-day, was the populax 
craft. Most of the schooners were built primarily for fishing, 
but in the winter, instead of letting this property lie idle, it was 
the custom to intrust it to the care of some bright young Cohasset 
skipper for the purpose of trading in the Gulf of Mexico. A 
cargo would be obtained in Boston for some port in the Southern 
States, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, New Orleans, or Galveston, 
and between these ports and the ports of the West Indies trading 
voyages were made until it was time for the schooner to return to 
Cohasset to fit out for the fishing season. 

As a rule the captain of the vessel was given some interest in 
the profits of the winter's work, as was right and proper, for the 
success of the winter's trading depended largely on his keenness, 
prudence, and devotion to his employer's interests. Contact with 
the merchants and shipowners of Boston soon brought about an 
opportunity to serve as mate in some larger vessel bound for 
ports in Europe, and so, step by step, the lad who started at the 
lowest round of the ladder as boy in a fishing schooner, in time 
attained the topmost round, and walked the quarter-deck of a 
Yankee clipper ship, the acme at that time of naval construction. 

Nothing shows the difference between the old and the new 
more than the early age at which boys began to follow the sea. 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 535 

Frank Pratt went to sea at eight, James Collier at nine, and John 
P. T. Percival at eleven; and these instances might be multi- 
plied indefinitely. It followed naturally that captains under 
twenty-one were not uncommon. The call of the sea for the 
young men of Cohasset seemed irresistible in those days, and the 
dangers attending the life of the sailor served rather to increase 
than to diminish its attractiveness. 

Frank Pratt, son of Dr. Ezekiel Pratt and father of Dr. Gustavus 
Pratt, gives the following incident in an account which he left of 
his seafaring life. "We were in the Gulf Stream in a North east 
gale with a heavy cross sea running. Soon the flying jib boom 
and all was carried away by the sea. We were 'hove to' at 
the time under close reefed fore-sail. Next the halyards parted, 
went out the scuppers and caught in the rudder. That left us 
under bare poles. It was then I saw the captain do a brave and 
dangerous piece of seamanship, such as I have never seen done 
since, in sixteen years of sea life. The jib must be saved if pos- 
sible. No one dared to go on the bow-sprit but the captain. I 
stood in the companion-way and saw him go out on the end of 
the bow-sprit, stand up, holding on to the jib-stay with both 
hands, knife in his mouth, go under three times, all out of sight, 
hold on and cut the sail from the hanks." 

Such incidents as these served as themes for many a winter's 
tale around Cohasset firesides fifty to seventy-five years ago. 
Many of these sea captains attained to a competency from the 
very fact that the deep sea vessels of those days were so small, 
and it was possible for them to own a respectable interest in them 
and share profits of the voyages. 

As has been said, of the earliest sea captains very little has 
come down to us but the record of their births and deaths. In 
the houses of their descendants hang their portraits, painted, 
usually in Antwerp, and perhaps the picture of one of the square- 
riggers commanded by them. 

Among these captains may be mentioned Aaron Pratt, bom in 
1760, and died in 1843. From the register of the Boston Custom 
House we glean these items, that Aaron Pratt was captain of the 
schooner Enterprise in 1809, of the brig Eliza and Lydia in 18 10, 
and of the Triton in 181 1. As only vessels going to foreign ports 



536 History of Cohasset. 

were registered at the Boston Custom House, we may safely put 
him down, as well as the others whose names follow, as deep sea 
sailors. 

John Jacob Lothrop was bom in 1763, and died in 1823. No 
doubt his name would have been found as captain of some vessel 
registered at the Boston Custom House were it not for the fact 
that the books of registration covering the period from 1789 to 

1806 are at Washington, for use in the French Spoliation claims, 
which have been dragging along now for over a century. Cap- 
tain Lothrop's portrait, painted in Antwerp, hangs in the house of 
his grand daughter, Mrs. Richard Sankey. In 1789 he is spoken of 
as master of the schooner Priscilla, in 1794 of the schooner Betsey, 
in 1795 of the sloop Clara, in 1798 of the schooner Bethiah. 

In the year 1807 there came to Cohasset, from Truro, on the 
Cape, two brothers, Ephraim Snow, born in 1777, and Henry 
Snow, bom in 1781. They purchased the house now occupied 
by Dr. William Bryant, on Black Horse Lane, now called, in 
remembrance of them, Snow Place. 

The elder of these brothers is known to have been a deep sea 
captain, and is said to have crossed the Atlantic fifty times. In 

1807 the registry of the Boston Custom House has him as master 
of the schooner Ruth, a Cohasset vessel of 115 tons, owned and 
built in 1805 by Levi Tower. In 1810, still in command of the 
schooner Ruth, an attempt is made by the press gang in Liverpool 
to take from him some members of his crew, and in 1815 we 
find this same vessel registered with E. Snow still as captain, but 
with her rig changed to that of a brig. The supposition is that 
from 1807 up to and including 181 5, and probably beyond that 
time, Captain Snow was master of the Ruth, and made in her 
foreign voyages. 

Two other vessels which he commanded, and in which he 
made voyages to Liverpool, were the ships Mt. Vernon and 
Warren. On one of his voyages he brought from Spain the boy 
Salvador Sabate y Morell, of Willaseca, Tarragona, bom 1790, 
and naturalized April 9, 1816, as Samuel Snow, This young 
Spaniard evidently took naturally to the water, for we find him in 
1816, the year of his naturalization, captain of the new fishing 
schooner Independence. Later we find Samuel Snow registered 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captams. 537 

as captain of the schooner Good Intent, the schooner Six Brothers, 
of the brig May/lower, December 8, 1823, and of the schooner 
Joseph, November 3, 1824. He was lost at sea October 3, 1825. 

Captain Ephraim Snow was the father of a second Captain 
Ephraim Snow, and father-in-law of Captain J. P. T. Percival. 

Captain Henry Snow, brother of Ephraim Snow, we can learn 
but little about, and that only from the record department of the 
Boston Custom House. There he is recorded as captain of the 
following Cohasset vessels registered for foreign voyages, schooner 
Speedwell, 181 1; schooner Three Sisters, 1816; schooner Frank- 
lin, 1820; brig Rebecca, 1820; schooner Almira, 1821; brig Ann, 
1822 and 1824. He was father of Captain Henry Snow and 
father-in-law of Captain Nichols Pratt. 

Peter Pratt, son of Captain Aaron mentioned above, is said to 
have been very severe in his treatment of his men, and to obtain 
a crew was obliged to resort to the subterfuge of remaining below 
until his ship was at sea and then appearing on the quarter-deck, 
to the consternation of his sailors. In 18 15 he was captain of the 
New Orleans Packet, in 1829 of the ship Hellespont, in 1833 of 
the ship Propontis, and in 1834 of the ship Conohasset. In 1834 
and 1835 he paid hospital money at the port of Cohasset as captain 
of the Schooner Ellen. 

Captain Ezekiel Wallis (or Wallace) lived in the house at the 
southerly end of South Main Street, near the Scituate line, now 
partially burnt, and known for some years as the "Highland 
House." He was born in 1784 and died in 1859. In the first 
volume of this history he is spoken of as captain of the schooner 
Nancy, in the year 1814, which was captured by the English and 
taken to Halifax. In 181 4 he was captain of the brig George, 

James Collier, bom at North Scituate in 1775, died there in 
1850. He married Sally Lincoln of Cohasset, a daughter of 
Allan Lincoln, who was captured on board his vessel by the 
English during the Revolution and died in an English prison. 
Her mother was Persis Tower, who, after her husband's death, is 



538 History of Cohasset. 

said to have sailed a schooner to Gloucester, to obtain supplies for 
the inhabitants of Cohasset cut off by the English blockade. 
After the Revolution she married Captain James Hall, one of 
Washington's staff officers, and thus became the ancestress of two 
lines of sailors. 

In the year 1803 he was owner and captain of the Light Horse. 
At the age of 31, in the year 1806, he was captain of the ship 
William Tell of Scituate, a vessel of 258 tons. Possibly on this 
voyage he visited Antwerp, for his picture, painted in that city 
at about that time, is still in the possession of his grand-chil- 
dren. Later he bought the wharf in Cohasset formerly owned by 
Luther Stephenson and others, and became a vessel owner, as well 
as master, for in 1814 the schooner Little Sarah is registered at 
the Boston Custom House with James Collier as builder, owner 
and master. In 182 1 he is again registered as her captain, and 
in 1824 of the Young James, All these, as well as the Elizabeth, 
built in 1829, were named for his children. 

Although his living came from the sea, he wished that his sons 
might not be obliged to follow it, and gave four of them trades, 
which they promptly put one side and proceeded to enroll them- 
selves in the ranks of Cohasset's sailors. 

Captain Levi Pratt was bom in 1798 and died in 1869. He is 
recorded in the Boston Custom House as captain of the following 
vessels: ship Fama, 1825; schooner Bashaw, 1829; schooner 
High Flyer, 1832; the ship Concordia, 185 1; the ship Chaos ^ 
771 tons, 1840; ship Amazon, 1855. Two other ships which he 
commanded were the Robert and the Triton, or Trenton. 

Captain Daniel T. Lothrop was bom in 1796, and died in 
187 1. His first command of which we have any record is the 
Cohasset-built schooner Three Sisters in 1820, owned in part by 
his father. He then entered the employ of the Grays, of New- 
buryport and Boston, for whom he sailed the brig Cornelia in 1823, 
the brig Charlotte, 274 tons, in 1826 and 1830, the ship Streglitz in 
1835, and the ship Oriosto, 361 tons, in 1839. 

In the later years of his life, after his retirement from the sea, 
he acted as Underwriter's Agent, and was until his death one of 
the solid, public-spirited citizens of the town.

Captain Thomas Stoddard, bom in Cohasset in 1787, died in 
1854. In the later years of his life he was always referred to 
as Lieutenant Stoddard, a title gained in the revenue service. 
He is recorded as captain of the schooner Juno in the years 181 1 
and 1820. 

Captain George Hall was the son of Persis (Tower) Lincoln 
and Captain James Hall, and was bom in Cohasset in 1790, in 
the house on the Plain, now owned by Mrs. Nina E. Lincoln. In 
his younger days he made voyages to the Mediterranean. On 
one of these voyages his vessel was captured by pirates, who 
signified their intention of stripping the vessel and setting it 
adrift. It seemed as if the captain and crew were about to face 
death by starvation in midwinter. Most opportunely it was 
discovered that Captain Hall and the captain of the pirate crew 
were masons. Immediately the aspect of affairs was changed, 
and Captain Hall was allowed to go on his way rejoicing, bring- 
ing his vessel safely into port. 

In 181 5 he was awarded a gold medal by the Massachusetts 
Humane Society for his bravery in assisting in the rescue of two 
sailors shipwrecked off Cohasset rocks. In 1818 he commanded 
the schooner Little Sarah, and in 182 1 the schooner Morgiana. 
In 1828 he abandoned foreign voyages, and for many years 
sailed a packet between Cohasset and Boston. 

He afterwards engaged in the fishing business with his brother, 
Abraham, having a wharf and store at Hominy Point, near where 
now stands the Cohasset Yacht Club House. He married 
Cynthia Collier of Scituate (whose brother, Captain James 
Collier had married his half-sister, Sallie Lincoln), and built the 
house on Highland Avenue, still known as the old George Hall 
house, where he reared a family of sixteen children. Some of 
his sons are well remembered to-day as sailors and shipbuilders. 
To him descended from his father, the Revolutionary officer, his 
membership in the order of the Cincinnati. He died at Cohasset 
in 1854. 

Captaen Samuel Hall, the youngest son of Captain James 
Hall, is on record at the Boston Custom House as captain and 
part owner of the schooner Charlotte, from 1830 to 1834 engaged 
in foreign commerce. 



540 History of C oh as set. 

Captain Philip Fox. The most picturesque figure on the list of 
Cohasset's deep sea captains is Captain Philip Fox. He was born 
in Lincolnshire, England, in 1795, and married April 9, 1815, Anna, 
the daughter of Joel Willcutt, of Cohasset. How this young 
sailor from England came to Cohasset and married a Cohasset 
girl, we know not, nor whether at that time he was a sailor before 
the mast or a mate, but probably the latter. 

His father-in-law, Joel Willcutt, kept a diary in which were 
recorded happenings worthy of note in his family, and in the town. 
From this diary we learn that Fox sailed from Boston May 11, 

1818, in the ship Milo bound for Charleston, S. C. From the 
Custom House Register at Boston we learn that the ship Milo was 
owned by David Hinckley and commanded by Captain Bronson. 
Without doubt Philip Fox was her first mate. 

The next year Captain Bronson and Philip Fox were transferred 
to the ship Herald. The Herald was a new vessel of 302 tons, 
built in 1818 at Newbury, and owned by David Hinckley, Samuel 
Appleton and David P. Parker. On the outward voyage Captain 
Bronson was lost overboard and Philip Fox assumed command. 
His first voyage as captain was made in 36 days, arriving in Boston 
from Liverpool April 4, 1819. 

On his second voyage the time was 45 days from Liverpool to 
Boston, where he arrived August 16. The new ship Herald in 
these two voyages had not shown any evidence of the speed which 
was in her, nor had her captain established the reputation, which 
was soon to be his, as a driver. 

On the next voyage from Liverpool to Boston the Herald arrived 
December 23, bringing London papers dated the 4th and Liver- 
pool papers dated the 6th. The Boston Gazette under the marine 
head announced the passage "seventeen days from Liverpool, 
fourteen to Cape Cod." The Sentinel, Patriot and Daily Adver- 
tiser all give her 17 days. Under the marine head of the Adver- 
tiser it is stated thus: "The Herald sailed from Liverpool Decem- 
ber 6 and arrived in our Bay yesterday (23) morning. This is 
the shortest passage from any port in England within our recol- 
lection." 

Lastly Joel Willcutt in his diary under date of December 23, 

1819, has this entry: "Captain Fox arrived at Boston in seventeen

CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 541 

days from Liverpool." There is no doubt therefore that her 
passage of seventeen days is given as correctly as could be without 
ascertaining the precise hour at which she left Liverpool and the 
hour she arrived in Boston, which if ascertained would probably 
make it a few hours more or less than seventeen days. 

Philip Fox, at the age of twenty-four, as captain of the ship 
Herald, had made the quickest passage ever made from England 
to America. It was on his arrival at this time when hailed to know 
when he left, that he replied, "Week before last." Captain Fox 
had an appreciation of a joke even though he was of English birth. 

January 13, 1820, he is off again, this time for Charleston. 
May 16 records his arrival at Boston, probably from Liverpool, 
to which port no doubt the Herald sailed from Charleston, as the 
trip from Boston to Charleston, thence to Liverpool with cotton, 
and home again with passengers and miscellaneous freight, was 
a common trip in those days. 

May 29 he sails agam for Charleston, and October 4 finds 
him in Boston again, the round trip taking as before about four 
months. November 5 he left for Charleston, and his arrival 
home is not recorded until May 7, 1821, a six months' trip this 
time, possibly to different ports, possibly delayed waiting for 
cargo, for we cannot imagine him making a slow passage. June loth 
Captain Fox left Boston for Liverpool, accompanied by his wife 
and little son, Charles, and September 19 Joel Willcutt records: 
"Captain Fox arrived at Boston and came home with his wife 
and Charles this evening," and October i, "Captain Fox moved 
into Joshua Oakes' house." 

Charles Fox, the eldest son of Captain Fox, used to relate in 
after years his remembrances of this trip to England at the age of 
six. A trip was made into Lincolnshire, where the little boy was 
struck with the oddity of a flight of stairs going up on the outside 
of his grandfather's house. He also had a vivid recollection of the 
stage coach in which they made their journey, being chased by 
highwaymen from whom by the fleetness of their horses, they 
escaped. 

October 23d he sailed again for Charleston, and his next home- 
coming is noted on the 17th of April, 1822. After his usual three 
weeks' stay on shore he started again for Charleston, May 5, 



542 History of Cohasset. 

taking Mrs. Fox with him, and made the round trip in less than 
four months, arriving in Boston August 27 th. This was Captain 
Fox's last voyage on the Herald. 

Another line of Liverpool packets was owned by James Read 
and others, the ships being given the names of precious stones. 
To Captain Fox was given the command of the ship Emerald. 
The ship Emerald was built in Boston in 1822, and was a vessel 
of 359 tons. She seems like a pigmy to us to-day, but in her day, 
evidently, was a good-sized ship. The list of her eighty-four 
owners is a lisj of the blueblood merchant princes of eighty-five 
years ago. And Philip Fox was the captain chosen to bring out 
what was in her. October 11, 1822, she was registered, and on 
the 13th she starts on her maiden voyage. April 23, 1823, he 
arrived home from Liverpool, a six months' trip. Nothing 
wonderful about that. Evidently the Emerald was not yet 
tuned up. April 20th he is off again, and arrives home the week 
of August 22d, not doing so well as the Amethyst, which left May 
5th and arrived August 22d. On this voyage in the Amethyst sailed 
Joseph Willcutt, Captain Fox's brother-in-law, probably as a 
mate, and on the next voyage of the Emerald, Captain Fox signed 
him as mate. 

The Emerald has now been in commission a year; she has 
Cohasset men as captain and mate. Let's see what she can do. 
Joel Willcutt tells in one line: "1824, March loth, Captain Fox 
arrived from Liverpool in sixteen days." 

This record of Joel Willcutt's as to the length of the two quick 
passages bears testimony to the fact that Captain Fox considered 
this trip of the Emerald quicker by one day than the one made in 
the Herald in 18 19. 

The Emerald arrived on the 8th of March, 1824. The daily 
Advertiser, Patriot and Palladium of the 9th and Gazette of the nth 
give her sixteen days. The Centinel of the loth gives her fifteen 
days, fourteen hours. The Palladium of the 12th contains the 
following, "We have examined the log book of the Emerald and 
find she sailed from Liverpool Friday, February 20th, at 3 P.M. 
came round the rock, at 4 discharged the pilot. At 4 A.M., 21st, 
passed Holyhead. March 8th, 3 P.M., hove to off Boston Light. 
At 4 took a pilot and at 6 anchored below Fort Independence." 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 543 

Taking the hour of rounding the rock on the 20th as the time 
of leaving port and the hour of dropping the anchor on the 8th 
as the time of arrival, and taking into account that 1824 was 
leap year, the log would seem to make the passage of the Emerald 
seventeen days and three hours, or no shorter than the passage 
of the Herald. For years afterward these two short passages 
were the theme for argument and the matter was threshed over 
and over. 

In 185 1 Samuel Tophff, an authority on marine matters, 
prompted by a discussion at that time going on in the Boston papers, 
made an exhaustive examination of all the records at hand, with 
the above result, that there was probably no actual difference in 
the length of the two passages. Whether this is the last word or 
not, we do not know, but as we have said above, Captain Fox 
evidently put down the trip of the Herald as seventeen days and 
of the Emerald as sixteen. 

\- At all events, and in either case, it was he who made the quick 
passage. In both cases the passages were spoken of as fourteen 
days to Cape Cod, and this article had been once written, put in 
type, and the proof struck off, based on a magazine article, which 
was largely based on fancy evidently, wherein Captain Fox is 
depicted as throwing on the wharf at Boston a package of English 
newspapers not fourteen days old. A story current in Cohasset, 
and which must have some basis of truth in it, for Cohasset and 
Scituate men served under Captain Fox, was that coming into 
Boston Harbor at the termination of one of these quick passages, 
Captain Fox did not wait for the tide to serve for the vessel to get 
up to the wharf, but ran her on to the mud and taking a row boat 
hurried ashore and reported his arrival. 

From the following anecdote it may be inferred that the quick 
passage of the Emerald was made in a continuous gale from shore 
to shore, and that Captain Fox carried sail all the time, indeed, 
the man at the wheel had to be lashed to prevent his being swept 
overboard. As the Emerald was coming up Massachusetts Bay, 
Captain Fox appearing on deck in the morning caught sight of the 
lee rail. "Why here's a stranger," he cried. 

It has been said that so great an interest had been aroused by the 
performances of the clipper ships under the command of Captain 



544 History of Cohasset. 

Fox that hundreds assembled on India Wharf to witness the 
leaving of the Emerald on what was to be the quickest passage. 

Some there were, probably, who made all kinds of dismal pro- 
phecies as to the ultimate end of the ship driven by so reckless a 
captain. Others, no doubt, called to mind the fact that although 
Captain Fox vv^as a driver he had never yet lost a spar or sail. 
As the ship disappeared down the harbor under her own sail, for 
there were no steam tugs in those days to tow vessels out of port, 
or into their wharves, the crowd turned away, calculating the time 
when the Emerald would poke her nose into the wharf she had 
just left. But the most sanguine never imagined how short that 
time would be. 

In those days no wireless messages conveyed the news from 
Cape Cod of a home-bound ship's return; no telegram from 
Hull told of her nearing her destination. It was only when she 
came up the harbor, under more sail than most captains care to 
carry when coming into port, that the owners were informed 
that the Emerald was returning. It never occurred to them that 
she was returning from Liverpool, but that she was returning to 
repair the damage occasioned by some mishap. Therefore, as 
soon as the Emerald was within hailing distance. Captain Fox 
was greeted with the inquiry, "What's the matter?" For answer 
he tossed on the wharf a package of English papers not eighteen 
days old, and bade them look at the dates. 

It has been said that the insurance companies after this record 
trip of the Emerald refused to insure any vessels captained by 
Philip Fox. Be that as it may, Joel Willcutt records his starting 
off again March 21st, and his arrival home June 3rd, whether in 
the Emerald or not he does not say, but Captain Fox evidently 
kept at his vocation as sea captain until his death, which occurred 
in the Mediterranean in 1832 

There is no one alive who remembers Captain Fox, but stories 
concerning him are plentiful in Cohasset, and from these one 
gathers that he was a man of quick impulses, generous to a fault, 
ever ready to do a friend a good turn. This latter trait is evi- 
denced by the fact that he obtained ships, or places on ships, for 
his brother-in-law and the husbands of his sisters-in-law. 

When he arrived in Boston he was always in Cohasset the same 



Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 545 

day, and if he was not able to hire a horse and chaise for the 
journey, he would buy one. He bought the house on North Main 
Street, now occupied by his granddaughters, while it was in 
process of construction, and had it finished to suit his peculiar 
ideas. Either before or after he was in the Liverpool trade he 
probably made journeys to India, for he brought home articles of 
furniture which must have come from that locality. 

The Amethyst and the Emerald were sold into the whaling trade 
and the Amethyst was lost among the ice upon the northwest coast 
in 1886. The Emerald was purchased by John A. Parker an 
eminent merchant of New Bedford, in 1827, and she became 
famous in the new business she was so long employed in, whaling. 
Lucky as a whaler as she had been as a packet, in seven voyages 
her average fare was 2700 barrels of whale and sperm oil. 

In 1862 she was sold to parties in Honolulu, S. I., and her new 
debut was under the native name of one of the ancient kings there. 
Whether she is going now or not, we do not know, but certainly 
she must have been a strongly built vessel to have survived Philip 
Fox's driving her with all sail set in the midst of a gale and running 
on the mud in the place of the more prosaic method of letting go 
the anchor. 

The picture of her which is reproduced here is from the collection 
of oil paintings of old ships in the possession of Mr. William O. 
Taylor, of the Boston Globe, who very kindly had the painting 
photographed in order that a half-tone might be obtained for this 
chapter. The vessel is represented as being in holiday attire on the 
occasion of some celebration, possibly the laying of the foundation 
of the Bunker Hill Monument June 17, 1775, when Lafayette 
laid the corner stone and Daniel Webster made the oration. The 
National ensign floating at the stern with its nineteen stripes is 
interesting as showing the number of states in the Union at that 
time, although by the law passed in 1818 the flag was restored to 
the original thirteen stripes. 

This passage of the Emerald is we believe the quickest ever made 
between Liverpool and Boston by a vessel of her size or anywhere 
near her size. 

The clipper ship Red Jacket, 3500 tons, built in Bath in 1854, 
made the trip from Boston to Liverpool in a shorter time. 



54^ History of Cohasset. 

Captain Joseph Willcutt was bom in Cohasset, September 
22, 1799. He was a son of Joel Willcutt, whose diary has already 
been referred to, and to which the writer acknowledges his deep 
obligation for valuable bits of information in preparmg this 
chapter. 

So far as is known Joel Willcutt never was a sailor, but his 
sons all were, and his daughters, with two exceptions, married 
sailors. Possibly this was due to the fact that his wife, whose 
name was Sutton, came from a seafaring family. His sons, 
Lewis, Warren, Andrew, Lot, and Joseph, all became fishermen 
in their youth, and Andrew and Lewis made deep sea voyages, 
but there is no record that any one of them, with the exception 
of Joseph, ever became deep sea captains, although Andrew is 
spoken of as captain of the fishing schooner Union. 

His daughter, Anna, married Captain Philip Fox, Betsey 
became the wife of Captain James Pratt, Isabella married Captain 
John Williams, who with Captain Charles Bennett, the husband .of 
Myra Willcutt, was lost at sea in a trip to the West Indies in 184 1. 

From 1814, when Joseph was fifteen years old, to 18 19, we 
find annual records in the diary of his fitting out each summer 
for mackerel voyages, but in the latter year he began to sail with 
his brother-in-law, Captain Fox, in the ship Herald on his voy- 
ages to Charleston and Liverpool. On May 9, 1822, Joseph 
arrived at Boston four days after Captain Fox had sailed from 
Boston, so it is probable that sometime in 182 1 Captain Fox had 
obtained a berth for him in some other vessel, presumably as 
mate. • 

July 12th he returned from another voyage. October 13th 
he sailed for Savannah on the ship America. May 3, 1823, he 
sailed for Charleston in the ship Amethyst, arriving home by way 
of Liverpool, August 2 2d. He then took the position of mate 
on the Emerald under his brother-in-law. Captain Fox, and his 
first voyage from Liverpool to Boston was made in sixteen days. 
The next record we have of Joseph is of his leaving Boston, June 
24, 1824, for Liverpool, and arriving in Boston, September 24th. 

January i, 1829, he sailed from Boston in the ship Charles 
Henry; November 30, 1831, he arrived at Boston. 
The last two entries in the diary in regard to him are: "1835, 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 547 

January 29th, Joseph came home this day." " 1841, April 8th, 
Our son Joseph died." 

In the latter years of his life he owned a quarter interest in 
the bark Juno, of which he was also commander. We have no 
record of the exact date when he first became a captain, but it 
was probably in 1824, or soon after. He married Myra Bates 
and lived in the house on the northerly corner of Highland 
Avenue and Beach Street, which she inherited from her father. 

The records at the Boston Custom House give us this further 
record in regard to Captain Joseph Willcutt. In 1836 he was 
captain of the 541-ton ship Charlotte, built in 1836, and owned 
by Henry Oxnard, Abbot Lawrence, and William Appleton. In 
March, 1839, he is registered as captain and part owner of the 
295-ton bark Juno, built in Boston in the winter of 1838-39, and 
this was without doubt his last command. 

Captain John Williams and Captain Charles Bennett 
married Isabella and Myra, daughters of Joel Willcutt. In a 
voyage from New York to the West Indies with a heavy cargo 
"pf com their vessel was lost, and no tidings were ever obtained 
from them. Captain Williams was accompanied by his son, 
Lyman Davis, fourteen years of age, who pleaded so hard to be 
taken along that his father reluctantly consented, against his own 
better judgment, hoping that one voyage would cure the boy of 
his desire to become a sailor*. So in one year Joel Willcutt was 
robbed by death of one son, two sons-in-law, and a grandson. 

The record given of such vessels commanded by John Williams 
as were registered at the Boston Custom House is as follows: 
(It must be understood that a vessel is registered but once, unless 
it has changed owners.) Brig Laurel, July 21, 1823; brig Susan, 
June 15, 1824, brig Mermaid, August 6, 1830, brig Fortune, 
March i, 183 1; brig Elizabeth, November 11, 1836 (owned in 
Hingham); brig Padang, January 7, 1832. October 17, 1837, he 
is registered as captain of the schooner Amanda Ophelia, named 
for his infant daughter, a vessel of 58 tons, built at Robin- 
ston, Maine, the same year, the others owners being Rufus Lane, 
Charles Lane, and Caleb Marsh. 

He is registered August 11, 1838, as master of the brig Russell,

built at Cohasset in 1835, also May 11, 1839; schooner Har- 
mony, November 9, 1839, built at Cohasset the preceding year. 

Of the schooner Eunice, built at Cohasset in 1835, and owned 
by Abraham H. Tower, he was captain, September 5, 1840, and 
September 21, 1841, captain and part owner. This vessel was 
his last command, and the voyage on which he started in her in 
September, 1841, was only ended when his vessel laid her bones 
on the bottom of the sea, over which he had sailed for so many 
years. 

Of Captain James Pratt, the remaining son-in-law of Joel 
Willcutt, we have been unable to find any record, except that he 
was at one time captain of the brig Talisman, and it was while 
he commanded this vessel that her picture was painted representing 
her as entering the harbor of Liverpool, a reproduction of which 
forms one of the illustrations of this chapter. 

Captain John Lincoln was bom in 1784, and died at sea in 
1832. The name of John Lincoln is given as captain of the fol- 
lowing vessels in the registers of the Boston Custom House, but as 
the name continues on the records after the death of the Cohasset 
John Lincoln, we cannot be sure that these vessels were actually 
commanded by him: Schooner Eliza, May, 1819; schooner 
Mary Ann, 1822; brig Boston, 1823; brig Billow, 1824; brig 
Chilo, 1828; brig Wave, 1831. We also find another John Lincoln, 
commanding the following Cohasset vessels: — Schooner William, 
1 79 1, brig Triton, 1793, schooner Neptune, 1795. 

Captain John Wilson was' bom in 1788, and died in 1861. 
In the possession of his grandson are a sextant inscribed, "John 
Wilson, 1809," one or two old log books, now almost indecipher- 
able on account of age and water stains, an old cutlass left by an 
English officer on board the Cohasset packet during the War of 
181 2, a certificate of American citizenship from the collector of 
the port of New York, and a water-color picture of the Cohasset 
schooner Charlotte (hermophrodite brig) in the harbor of Mar- 
seilles in 1830. 

From the first volume of the Cohasset history we leam that he 
was captured in the Cohasset packet in the War of 181 2, and that

his vessel was redeemed by her owner, Levi Tower, by the 
payment of a ransom. Hence the cutlass. In 181 9 he is men- 
tioned as captain of the fishing schooner Lydia. The records of 
the Boston Custom House show him to have been captain of 
the Almira in 1823. From the log book we learn that the voy- 
ages made at this time were from Norfolk, Va., to Malaga and 
back to Boston, and from Philadelphia to St. Thomas. 

November 17, 1827, he is recorded as captain of the schooner 
Charlotte, and we know from the picture referred to above that 
he was still captain of the same craft in 1830. In 1836, 1837, 
and 1838, he was captain of the schooner Eolus, and in 1841, he 
is registered not only as captain of the schooner Caroline, but as 
part owner. In 1845 ^^ commanded the schooner Bounty. 

John (Baptiste) Barker was born in Italy In 1791. What 
brought him to Cohasset we do not know, but we do know that 
he settled here, married a Cohasset girl, and became a naturalized 
citizen of the United States, under the name of John Barker. 
Possibly his name had been Giovanni Baptiste in his native 
Italy. He was most commonly known as Teesta Barker. Not 
a great deal can be ascertained in regard to his voyages. Frank 
Pratt, in his journal, mentions him in 1830 as sailing master of 
the fishing schooner Tower, owned by Captain Nichols Tower. 
On this voyage he was accompanied by his son, Elijah. In this 
vessel, in 1833 and 1837, he made foreign voyages. 

For several years he made trips to the West Indies in the 
schooner Juno, owned by Captain Nichols Tower, and in his last 
voyage in her was run down and nearly lost his life. The bark 
Lewis, also owned by Captain Nichols Tower, was another ves- 
sel which he commanded in 1841. He made several voyages in 
vessels owned by Captain Lothrop. St. Thomas, Porto Rico, 
and Curacoa were some of the ports visited by him on his voyages. 
In 1845 ^^ w^s captain of the schooner Herculean, built at Salis- 
bury, and owned jointly by D. T. Lothrop, Josiah O. Lawrence, 
and Captain David B. Wilson, and in 1846 he is registered as 
master and managing owner of the same vessel. In 1850 a John 
Barker is mentioned as captain of the brig MouUon. 

His last voyages were as captain of the schooner Grey Eagle, 



550 History of Cohasset. 

owned by himself and the Whitons of Hingham, of which he took 
command in October, 1852, On January 6, 1856, when within 
twenty-four hours' sail from New York, his vessel was capsized, 
and all on board were lost. 

Captain Barker was one of the many men in Cohasset who 
distinguished himself as a life saver. *When the Boston was 
wrecked on the rocks off Cohasset, Captain Barker, assisted by 
John Lothrop and two others, went out in a boat to the wreck 
and took off the crew. For this act Captain Barker received a 
gold medal, which is now in the possession of his great-grandson 
in Newark, N. J. 

Leavitt Barnes was born in 1799, and was drowned off the 
the Island of St. Thomas, August 25, 1827. He was captain of 
the Three Sisters in 182 1, of the Hero in 1824, and of the Jmw, 
in which, or from which, he lost his life, in 1827. 

Captain Warren Orcutt was born in 1800, and died in 187.2. 
He was captain of the schooner Sarah in 1832, the schooner 
Gold Finch in 1833, the schooner Caroline in March and December, 
1836, the schooner Typhoon in 1859. 

Captain David Sutton was a familiar figure on the streets 
of Cohasset. He occupied the house on the corner of South 
Main and Beechwood Streets, the site of which is now occupied 
by the house built by William B. Johnson, Esq. His father was 
John Sutton, who came from Scituate to Cohasset and com- 
manded, and was part owner in 1790 of the schooner Beckey. 

David S. Sutton was bom in 1802. He is mentioned as 
captain of the new ship Ohio, in 1848, and as owner of one-third, 
and in 1849 ^^ captain and three-eighths owner of the same ves- 
sel. He is also remembered as master of the bark Amazon out 
of Boston to New Orleans. In 1857 he is recorded as captain of 
the bark J. A. Lee. 

Captain Ezra Towle, born at Suncook, N. H., March 30, 1804. 
Married Sybil Barnes of Cohasset, December 21, 1828. He came 
to Cohasset when fourteen years of age, where for three years he 
sailed in various fishing vessels during the summer months, study- 
ing navigation and mathematics with various Cohasset captains 
and completing his education in these branches in Boston. At 



Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 551 

eighteen, he entered the Liverpool Packet service; at nineteen was 
first mate and at twenty-one, was a captain in that service. A 
number of Cohasset men sailed with him before the mast, and as 
mates, at various times during the fourteen years he was engaged 
in this service, but no record of his voyages is now to be had, and 
we are dependent almost entirely on tradition for any information. 

It is known that at the time of his marriage, in 1828, he had com- 
pleted one of the quickest runs on record and had received a cash 
reward for the best run of the season. He was a man of genial 
disposition and warm heart, open handed and liberal in the extreme, 
but like many of the old time captains, rather severe aboard ship 
and a stickler for his rights, obliging not only his crew to toe the 
mark, but everybody he did business with. 

At request of his wife, he left the Liverpool service about 1833 or 
1834 and entered the coasting trade, sailing mainly to Southern 
Ports — Savannah, New Orleans, Norfolk, the West Indies, etc. An 
incident, related to the writer by one who witnessed it, will signify 
a little Captain Towles' character. Captain Towles was sent by the 
owners to New Orleans to bring back a barque, whose captain and 
mate had died of yellow jack, and whose crew had all deserted her. 
He took on two men, a first mate and rigger, relying on picking 
up a crew there to handle her. He secured a crew of nine men, all 
tough specimens, and they made their boasts that they would fix 
the d d Yankee Skipper before 48 hours. 

The second day out, the whole nine men got in a mixed up gen- 
eral row in the forecastle. The mate, who jumped below, was 
thrown on deck with a broken collar bone and a bad scalp wound. 
The narrator says Captain Ez. made about two jumps from the 
mizzenmast to the forecastle, grabbing a capstan bar on his way. 
He sprang below, and for about 15 minutes there was the Kveliest 
mixup ever seen, but he was the last man on deck, driving them 
all before him, and every man bore some mark of that handspike. 
But after that, we had no more trouble with that crew. They 
realized their captain was a man and respected him as such. 

In 1839, 1840 and 1841 he paid hospital money at the port of 
Cohasset as captain of the schooner Rebecca and in 1844 of the 
schooner Rubicon. 

Captain Towle left the sea for good in the early fifties, embarking 
in business as a contractor, in Cohasset. The older members of the 



552 History of Cohasset. 

community will remember the line of stages be conducted, connect- 
ing with the Hingham and Nantasket boats. By an unfortunate 
accident in 1856, he lost his left hand and crippled his right, but 
although handicapped, he still continued, until his death, actively 
engaged in various business lines. 

One monument to his enterprise is the cut at Cunningham's 
bridge. This outlet through the beach at this point having been 
made by Captain Towle, connecting the waters of Little Harbor 
with the ocean. He died in 1872. 

Captain David Wilson was another foreigner who became an 
adopted son of Cohasset and one of her deep sea captains. He 
seems to have accumulated property in his calling, for in the 
vessels which he commanded he generally was part owner. His 
record at the Boston Custom House is, 1843, master and owner 
with Josiah O. Lawrence of the brig Casket; 1845, master and 
quarter owner of the brig Speedwell; 1848, master and third owner 
of the brig Speedwell; 1849, master and quarter owner of the 
bark Julia; 1850, master and three-eighths owner bark Julia; 
1852-53, master of the schooner Georgianna; 1853-54, master and 
three-eighths owner of the ship Kepler; 1855, master and three- 
eighths owner of the ship Daylight. He was also one-third owner 
of the schooner Herculean. 

Septimus Thorndike was another of Cohasset's captains of 
whom we can obtain but a very short record. In 1834 he was 
captain of the Two Sisters, in 1838 and 1839 of the Eunice, in 1840 
of the Bela Bates, in 1841 of the Susan. Whether these were 
fishing vessels or not we have no means of knowing. In May, 
1843, he took command of the new brig Speedwell, owned by A. H. 
Tower and Caleb Lothrop, and in June of the same year died on 
board of her. 

Captain William Pratt, son of Captain Peter and grandson 
of Captain Aaron Pratt was a well-known deep sea captain, but 
almost no record can be obtained of his voyages. In 1838 he paid 
hospital money as captain of the schooner Ellen, in 1841 as captain 
of the schooner Gull, in 1846 of the schooner Talis?nan, of which 
he was part owner. In 1836 he was registered at the Boston 
Custom House as captain of the brig Phoebe Ann. His voyages 
carried him as far away as Calcutta, and he is known to have been 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 553 

wrecked on the west coast of South America when in the guano 
trade. Late in life he was skipper of the Cohasset-built yacht 
Grade. He was born in 1807 and died in 1894. 

Captain George W. Collier, the oldest son of Captain James 
Collier, was bom in Cohasset in 1809. His father evidently did 
not intend him for a sailor, for he received a better education than 
did most of the boys of his age, and when a young man, took charge 
of the books in his father's store on the wharf at the head of the 
cove. 

He was at one time a member of the school committee, and 
represented Cohasset for one term as a member of the General 
Court. He and his chum, Edward Doane, were also elected at 
one of the town meetings as field drivers, and soon gave evidence 
of the fact that they did not consider the office an honorary one 
by putting their fathers' cows in the pound. 

In the first volume of this history he is set down as captain of 
the Polly in 1816, but, as at that time he was but seven years old, 
the entry is manifestly an error. A close investigation of the 
register discloses the fact that George Collins was the captain of 
the Polly at that time, a \ery natural error and one frequently 
made with the name of Collier. In spite of the intention of his 
father to make a merchant of him, it was evident that the love for 
the sea would not permit him to remain on shore. 

In 1 83 1 he took part in a rescue of sailors shipwrecked on our 
coast, as is shown by the following inscription on a medal in the 
possession of his nephew, George Collier Bates, "The Humane 
Society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to George W. 
Collier in testimony of their appreciation of his exertions, united 
with seven others, whereby the lives of the crew of the schooner 
Boston were preserved when in imminent danger off Cohasset 
rocks, April 12th, 1831." 

Perhaps the very work he was engaged in, making entries per- 
taining to the vessels owned, or partly owned by his father, the 
Young James, Little Sarah, Elizabeth, General Marion, Rubicon, 
Patitheon, Profit, and Hobart, only served to make him restless. 
Possibly the call of the sea was too strong to be resisted as he 
looked out on the waters of the harbor dotted with vessels, or 
thought of his brother sailing his vessel on southern seas. At any 



554 History of Cohasset. 

rate he finally put one side the pen with which he had adorned 
with beautiful penmanship the ledgers in the old store on the 
wharf, and became a sailor. 

We have no record showing how, or in what vessels, or on what 
voyages, he obtained his preliminary training, but our first knowl- 
edge of him as sailor is obtained from Frank Pratt's narrative, 
where he appears as second mate of the bark Hobart, a Cohasset 
vessel with a Cohasset name, and manned from Captain down by 
Cohasset men. This was in 1842, in his thirty-third year, and 
the voyage was New York to Bordeaux, thence to New Orleans, 
and back to New York. 

In the next voyage of the Hohart he was promoted to the posi- 
tion of first mate. This voyage was to Buenos Ayres and return, 
but the return was four years later than was anticipated, and 
Mr. Collier brought back as captain the vessel in which he had 
gone out as first mate. On arriving at New York the bark was 
immediately loaded with provisions for the sufferers from the 
famine in Ireland, and Captain Collier still continued in command. 

Captain Abraham Hall, who has already been referred to in 
these pages, visited Baltimore in his packet, carrj'ing there freights 
of mackerel caught by the Cohasset fisherman, and returning with 
the products of the South. The firm with which he transacted 
business in Baltimore was that of John Henderson & Co. On 
one of his trips Captain Hall found that young Gustavus Henderson, 
a son of the head of the firm, had run away from home and stowed 
himself away in the packet, and only appeared on deck when it 
was too late to return to his home. The upshot of the matter was 
that young Henderson became a member of the Hall family and 
stayed in Cohasset for six or seven years, becoming intimate with 
the Collier boys, who were nephews of Captain Hall. 

Nothing was more natural than that George W. Collier, in search 
of a ship, should turn to the friend of his young manhood, Gustavus 
Henderson, now a member of the firm of Henderson & Co., and 
apply for the command of one of the ships owned by that firm. 
The Hendersons always kept a warm spot in their hearts for any one 
hailing from Cohasset, and Captain J. P. T. Percival in his narra- 
tive bears testimony to the loving care which they bestowed on his 
dying brother, whom he was obliged to leave at Baltimore on one 
of his voyages.

So it came about that for many years Captain George W. Collier 
sailed from Baltimore in the employ of the Hendersons as captain 
of the ships Chasca and Jane Henderson. February 21, 1859, the 
ship John H. Jarvis, 740 tons, is registered at Boston with George 
W. Collier as captain and one-eighth owner. John Henry Cook 
was a sailor with him on this voyage, which was to New Orleans, 
Trieste, Venice, and other European ports, and Mr. Cook relates 
that when the vessel was outside of port Captain Collier had the 
crew called on deck and addressed them in a few words to this 
efifect: — "Men, we have started on a voyage which I hope will 
be a good voyage for us and a good voyage for the owners of this 
ship. My constant endeavor shall be to work for the best interests 
of the owners, and if you will do the same, I shall be perfectly 
satisfied." "And," added Mr. Cook, "if he had asked any man 
in that crew to jump overboard for him, he would have done it in 
a minute." 

Captain Collier was a man of exceedingly nervous temperament, 
absent-minded to the degree that on one occasion, in New Orleans, 
having availed himself of the loan of a horse and buggy to ride 
down town, his business completed, he returned home by car, 
leaving the horse and buggy where he had hitched him. 

Captain Collier married in England Miss Annie Tongue, whose 
ability may be judged from the fact that during an illness of 
Captain Collier, as related by Mr. Cook, she took charge and 
navigated the vessel. He was extremely fond of a practical joke, 
and, it is said, was the life of that group of homesick Cohasset boys 
cooped up in the town of Montevideo for four years. 

At the close of the Civil War he located in New Orleans in the 
ship chandlery business, where he lived until his death in 1886. 

Dr. Ezekiel Pratt, always referred to in Cohasset as "Old 
Dr. Pratt," furnished three sons and one grandson to the list of 
Cohasset's master mariners. The only complete record we have 
of any of them is that written of himself by Francis L. Pratt, the 
youngest son, which appears later in these pages. 

His eldest son, Nichols, was bom in 1809, and died in 1848 at 
the age of thirty-nine, too early to have advanced far in his pro- 
fession. In 1850 he was in command of the schooner Caroline. 



556 History of Cohasset. 

Captain Percival speaks of him in 1836 as the captain of the 
schooner Bela Bates. We know that later he was in command of 
vessels making foreign voyages, but we can get no record of them. 
He paid hospital money as captain in 1834 of the schooner Mor- 
giana, in 1835 of the schooner Friendship. 

His son, also named Nichols Pratt, was bom in Cohasset in 1840, 
and died in California in 1907. At the age of twenty-two he 
enlisted in the navy in the Civil War as acting master's mate. 
November 2, 1863, he was promoted to the position of acting 
ensign, and April 25, 1865, was made acting master. He was on 
blockade service for twenty-three months, and was in the convoy 
and recovery of the ship Ohio. He received a letter from the 
department for services at Fort Fisher. After the war he went 
to China and obtained a position as captain of a river steamer 
there, and made China his home until 1907, when he returned to 
the United States, dying in California the same year. 

Another son of Dr. Pratt was Henry, bom in 181 2. He is 
spoken of by his brother Frank as mate of the Beta Bates at the 
age of fifteen, and ten years later he is spoken of as captain of 
the brig Talisman. He is also spoken of as second mate of a brig 
belonging to Mr. Jairus Pratt. 'This brig, according to Joel 
Willcutt's diary, was launched at Cohasset in 1834. His record 
at the Boston Custom House is captain brig Talisman and part 
owner, 1837; 1844, captain brig Ann and Julia. March 30, 1849, 
he is registered as master and part owner of the brig Pianei, 
120 tons, the other owners being John H. Baker, Clark Cutting, 
and Artemas Thomdike, of Cohasset, and George Stoddard and 
George Adams, of Hingham. 

The Pianet was built at Eastport, Maine, in 1848. This voyage 
was to California at the time of the gold fever, and in addition to 
the owners, there were in the crew from Cohasset, Charles Bourne, 
Richard Lothrop, Israel Vinal, Lorenzo Bates, and Isaac Pratt. 
Captain Pratt remained in California until the later years of his 
life, when he returned East. 

Francis L. Pratt was bom in Cohasset, September 14, 1818, 
the youngest son of Dr. Ezekiel Pratt, and a descendant of the old 
Captain Aaron Pratt. At the age of eight he began his career as

a sailor on the schooner Albicore, Captain Willcutt, master, Edward 
Doane, supercargo, and Joseph Briggs, mate, for a trip to Bangor 
for lumber, receiving for the trip four dollars. The next summer 
he made fishing trips on the schooner Convert, Captain, Ezekiel 
Wallace. The next year on the schooner Susan, Captain, Freeman 
Gannett, he served as cook on a voyage to Washington, North 
Carolina, at a salary of eight dollars per month. It was on this 
voyage that the brave deed referred to in the beginning of this 
chapter was performed. 

His next maritime experience was on the fishing schooner 
William, sometimes called Black Bill, Captain, John Pratt. At 
the age of ten he made his first voyage as sailor on the schooner 
Beta Bates, Captain Crosby, with his brother Henry as mate. 
The voyage was from Cohasset to Richmond for a cargo of flour 
to be carried to Portland, Maine. 

The next summer the fishing schooner Myra, Captain, Caleb 
Souther, and Friendship, Captain, Elijah Pratt, had him as a 
member of their crews; and the next year the Beta Bates, Captain, 
Henry Martin. This schooner. Beta Bates, seems to have been 
the training school for a great many Cohasset boys. 

At the age of eleven, in company with his cousin Warren, Frank 
Pratt made his first trip on a square rigger, the ship Chatham, 
Captain Wood, on that voyage taken so often in those days, Boston 
to Charleston, thence to Liverpool, and back to Boston. At this 
point in his narrative he breaks forth into this exclamation, — 
"Now notice, ye big boys of seventeen loafing about town, I was 
eleven years old when I shipped on this vessel among all strangers 
as a green hand." 

That summer he went fishing, and the next fall joined the 
Chatham again for a voyage to Savannah and Liverpool. The rest 
of the winter he spent at school, and after another summer at fish- 
ing, he made a third trip to Liverpool on the Chatham, this time 
by way of New Orleans. On this trip he was accompanied by a 
Cohasset boy friend, Joshua Bates, and on the trip from Liverpool 
to Boston the crew were stricken with smallpox. 

That winter he studied navigation, and at the age of seventeen 
shipped on the brig Castile, Captain Smith, as second mate on a 
voyage to Jacksonville, St. Domingo, and back. Captain Warren 



558 History of Cohasset. 

Bates next obtained for him the position of second mate on the 
brig Cygnet, commanded by his brother-in-law, John Say^vard, on 
a voyage to Wilmington, North Carolina, thence to South America, 
with lumber, and home with a cargo of molasses. 

At the age of eighteen he signed as first mate on the fine new brig 
Ceylon of Duxbury, Captain, Charles Soule, for a voyage from 
Boston to St. Thomas and return. At nineteen he was first mate 
of the brig Russian, sailing from New York to Havana. In the 
cargo was a donkey engine, the first one ever set up in Cuba. 

Mr. Pratt was a teetotaler, and relates how he substituted hot 
coffee for grog as a stimulant to the sailors when working the 
vessel in a gale. After discharging her cargo at Havana the 
Russian proceeded to Matanzas, where she took on a load of sugar 
for Antwerp, upon discharging which a cargo of salt was taken on 
at Cadiz for Boston. 

Arriving at Boston he shipped as second mate at Cohasset for o, 
fishing trip on the topsail schooner Tower, of which Nichols Tower 
was Captain, and John Barker, sailing master. Among the crew 
were Frederick Tower, Elijah Barker, and young Sam Snow. It 
was not a successful trip, and the crew arrived home just before 
Thanksgiving, each man in debt to the vessel $27. 

He then resolved to try his fortunes in the new republic of Texas, 
and took passage on a new ship, commanded by Captain Winsor, 
of Duxbury, for New Orleans. The trip from New Orleans to 
Texas was made in the schooner Hannah. Texas did not prove 
to be any better place for making a fortune than old Massachusetts, 
and Mr. Pratt returned home, being fortunate enough to secure 
the position of second mate on the brig Grand Turk, loaded with 
tobacco for Boston. 

On his return to Cohasset he bought in Gloucester for $1,000, in 
partnership with Mr. Alfred Whittington, the schooner Essex, in 
which he made successful fishing trips during the summer. The 
next winter, in the brig Talisman, commanded by his brother 
Henry, he made a trip as first mate from Boston to St. Joseph, 
Florida, thence to Mobile, for a cargo of cotton. In the summer 
he went fishing in the Essex. The following winter he took com- 
mand of the schooner Beta Bates, on which he had first sailed as a 
boy of ten, for a freighting trip between ports in the Southern States. 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 559 

The next two summers he spent fishing in the schooner Essex, 
sandwiching a winter of putting down buoys for the lighthouse 
board on the schooner Eagle, under the command of Captain 
Nichols Tower. In the fall of 1841 he worked on the bark Lewis, 
building at Cohasset, but gave up this employment to join the 
bark Hobart, Captain, James Collier, as first mate, on a trip to 
Charleston, thence to Bordeaux with rice, from there to New 
Orleans with prunes and wine, where a cargo of corn was taken on 
for New York. On the trip from Charleston to Bordeaux the 
Hobart started in company with two brigs from Newport, Rhode 
Island, and beat them into Bordeaux by a full week. The Hobart 
was evidently a good sailer, for on one trip from Mobile to New 
York, Captain Collier walked into the consignee's office just as the 
postman handed in his letter. Our young readers must remember 
that in 1840 it took about a w^ek to carry a letter from Mobile to 
New York. 

While the Hobart was lying at New Orleans the boiler of a 
steamer on the opposite bank exploded, setting fire to the steamer, 
which burned to the water's edge. This, occurring in the night, 
furnished a grand but awful spectacle to the crew of the Hobart, 
roused from their slumbers by the din of the explosion. No time, 
however, was wasted in watching, for boats were immediately 
launched from the bark and the crew did manful service in rescuing 
from the river the members of the steamer's crew. On the com- 
pletion of this voyage Captain Pratt spent the summer as captain 
of the fishing schooner Ansurla, belonging to Esquire Doane, and 
of a schooner belonging to Lewis Willcutt. 

In the fall he shipped as first mate on the brig Eolus, belonging 
to Esquire Doane, and spent the winter trading between Charleston 
and Cuba. After another summer spent in mackerel fishing he 
decided to give up the sea, and spent the rest of his life on shore. 
Captain Pratt figured that he had sailed about 78,000 miles during 
his career as a sailor. 

Two brothers who were noted sea captains in their day, and 
upheld the reputation of Cohasset skippers in foreign ports were 
Adna N. and John Warren Bates. They were bom on Fort 
Hill, in Boston, although of the old Cohasset family of Bates^ 
Adna in 1812, Warren in 1815. 



560 History of Cohasset. 

Adna, after completing his education in the Boston schools, was 
employed for some time in the stationers store of Mr. Allen on 
Comhill. At what time he began his sea life is not known, but 
probably very early. He was connected by marriage with the 
Saywards of Gloucester, and probably sailed from that port in the 
days when it was something more than the home of the fishing 
industry. For that reason his name is not to be found in the 
registers of the Boston Custom House until 1848, when he is set 
down as captain of the Julia and Helen, a ship of 637 tons owned 
by Samuel Sayward, of Gloucester. 

In this vessel he made a voyage to San Francisco, reaching there 
when the gold fever was at its height. On his arrival he sold the 
vessel and cargo and remained in San Francisco and Sacramento 
until 1856. On his return home he took up again the occupation 
of a sea captain, sailing from Gloucester in the Surinam trade. 
In the early sixties he made voyages to Rochelle, Hamburg, and 
other ports in Europe, but in 1864 retired from the sea. He was 
a skillful navigator and noted for his proficiency in mathematics. 
For a number of years he served the town as Selectman, Assessor, 
and Overseer of the Poor. He died in Cohasset, February 24, 1881. 

John Warren Bates, as did his brother, entered the seafaring 
vocation as a boy. He, too, sailed from Gloucester, commanding 
two brigs from there, probably owned by the Saywards. He was 
engaged in the West Indian trade for many years. We find him 
registered from Boston as captain in 1849 of the Ganges, a 244-ton 
brig owned by William F. Mason. In 1849 ^^ ^o^k command of 
the new brig Czarina, owned by the firm of F. Nickerson & Co., 
and in 1856 we find him in command of the ship Flying Eagle, 
owned by the same firm. 

The Flying Eagle was a ship of 1094 tons burden, and said 
to be the fastest sailing vessel afloat at that time. In her he made 
voyages to San Francisco and around the world. Another vessel 
commanded by him was the Prometheus. 

October 10, 1861, he is registered as captain and one-eighth 
owner, with the Nickersons, of the 199-ton bark Carib, and Octo- 
ber 17, 1862, as captain of the 1297-ton ship Orion, In this 
last vessel he probably was employed by the United States

Government in the transportation of troops. Probably his last 
command was the .1546-ton clipper ship Criterion^ engaged in the 
California trade, under the management of Glidden & WiUiams. 
On retiring from the sea he acted as the West Indies agent of 
a prominent Boston business house for many years. Captain 
Bates was for a number of years a member of the Cohasset 
School Committee. He was also a member of the Board of 
Trustees of the Public Library, and its first Librarian. Captain 
Bates was a great lover of poetry, particularly of Byron, whose 
poems he could recite from memory. He died in Cohasset in 1895. 

Captain Thomas Doyle was bom in Ireland, and came 
to Cohasset through the instrumentality of the elder Captain 
Ephraim Snow. He rose to be a master mariner, and was com- 
mander of the schooners Antelope and Abigail, the brigs Eliza 
Burgess and Almatia, and the bark Maryland. 

Captain James Collier (until 1850 known as Captain James 
Collier, Jr.) probably commanded more ships and sailed more 
long voyages than any seafaring man who ever went out from 
Cohasset. And possibly his record in this respect has been sel- 
dom equaled by any captain, for in the latter years of his life, 
when in London, a captain there made the wager that his own 
record for number of vessels commanded and voyages made could 
not be equaled by the captain of any merchantman then in that 
port, the largest in the world. The wager was quickly taken by a 
captain who named Captain Collier as one who could overtop the 
record so confidently ofifered for competition. The result showed 
Captain Collier an easy winner. 

In the size of the ships he commanded he also led his friends 
among the Cohasset sea captains, for beginning with the Storm 
King the vessels of which he was master were all 1300 tons or 
over, while the only other ships which we have recorded in this 
chapter, coming anywhere near that tonnage, are the Orion, 1298 
tons, and the Criterion, 1546 tons, commanded by Captain John W. 
Bates. 

Captain James Collier was bom in Cohasset, in August, 1813, 
on Cove Street, now known as Elm Street, in a little house built 



562 History of Cohasset. 

by his great-grandfather, Thomas Lincoln, which stood where 
the Osgood School driveway enters the lot. At the age of nine 
years he presented to his parents the ultimatum so common in 
those days, "Let me go fishing, or I'll run away," which was 
settled in the usual way by the boy taking service as a fisherman 
on one of his father's vessels, possible the Young James, named 
for him. 

Alex Litchfield was a boy of about the same age on the same 
schooner, and John Cook, an older boy, who was a member of 
the crew, indulged his propensity for joking, which is well remem- 
bered by those who knew Captain Cook, by fomenting strife 
between these two boys, getting them ashore on the first island 
touched at, where a duel with fists was fought out, with Captain 
Cook as referee. 

At the age of 18, at the suggestion of Captain Abraham H. 
Tower, he was made captain of the schooner Profit, leaving 
Boston for Norfolk City and Richmond with a general cargo. 
The return cargo was coal, consigned to Oliver Ames, North 
Easton, Mass., which was landed at Weymouth and carted across 
country to North Easton. What a striking commentary on the 
difference in the methods of transportation now and seventy- 
five years ago! 

In 1834 in the Profit he made a voyage to Savannah, returning 
to Cohasset by way of Providence, and in the same year we find 
him commanding the schooner Rubicon at New Orleans. In the 
following year in the same vessel he made trading voyages from 
New Orleans to Kingston, Jamaica, Santiago de Cuba, Gal- 
veston, and Yucatan. 

In 1838 we find him at St. Marks. In 1840 he is made cap- 
tain of the bark Hobart, a Cohasset vessel, and that year and the 
next made trips in her to Mobile, Providence, New York, Tripoli, 
and Leghorn. The round trip from New York to Charleston, 
Bordeaux, New Orleans, and back to New York was made in 
1842. 

In October of that year Captain Collier became engaged to 
Miss Joanna Nichols Bates, of Cohasset, and soon after left for 
Buenos Ayres by way of Rio Janeiro in the Hobart, expecting to 
be married on his return home from the voyage. But on the 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 563 

2ist of May, 1843, the Hohart was stranded on the bar of the 
River Pantanoso, in the bay of Montevideo. A law^suit arose 
on account of the general average, which dragged on after the 
Spanish fashion, and Captain CoUier was detained in Monte- 
video until 1845, when he left the bark and came home, arriving 
in Cohasset in May, and was married July 6th. When the 
Hohart returned to New York, two years later, she was under 
the command of Captain George W. Collier, who had gone out 
in her as first mate, with Jacob F. Bates, Captain Collier's 
brother-in-law, as mate. 

The Hohart was a vessel to which the writer of this chapter was 
wont to refer as an example of the old-time shipping days in 
Cohasset, — a Cohasset vessel, with a Cohasset name, built, 
owned, captained, officered and manned by Cohasset men. But 
when he searched for her record at the Bostom Custom House he 
found it was not there. No enrollment, no register. Nobody 
living in Cohasset had any recollection of a vessel built seventy 
years ago. Finally recourse was had to the New York Custom 
House, and there it was found that the Hohart was registered in 
September, 1840, with the following record: " Owners, Abraham 
H. Tower, James Collier, Peter Lothrop, Daniel T. Lothrop and 
Caleb Lothrop; Captain, James Collier, Jr. ; length, 96 feet, tonnage 
204 tons." Reference was made to enrollment number 10 of 
June 12, 1840, issued at the port of Boston, but this enrollment 
is not on file there, and the certificate of the master builder was 
burned with numerous other records in the fire in the appraisers' 
stores, but, without doubt, her builder was Jonathan B. Bates. 

In 1846 Captain Collier commanded the bark Julia on a voyage 
from Boston to Maracaibo. 

The brig Monserrat was his next command, and in her he 
made one of the quickest trips on record to Queenstown, Ireland, 
fifteen days. The purpose of this voyage was the carrying of 
provisions to the famine-stricken sufferers of Ireland. On his 
arrival home in June he took on a cargo for Malaga, at which port 
he arrived in August. 

In 1848 he left New York for Porto Rico, accompanied by his 
wife and infant daughter, with his brother-in-law, Jacob F. 
Bates, as first mate. San Francisco was then the goal for vessels, 



564 History of Cohasset. 

and January, 1849, found the Monserrat leaving New York for 
that port, carrying passengers, as well as cargo, to the new 
land of gold. The voyage home terminated at New York in 
March, 1850. 

A year later we find him ending the same voyage at the port of 
New York, but in a new vessel, the bark E. H. Chapin. 

In 185 1 he again makes a voyage to San Francisco, but in 
another vessel, and by a more circuitous route. His vessel is 
now the bark Salem, and his route from Cincinnati, which he 
leaves in May, down the Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans, 
where he arrived in June, thence to Rio Janeiro, leaving there in 
September, and arriving at San Francisco in December. His 
voyage home began March i6th, and ended at New York, in 
July, 1852. 

Captain Collier was in his fortieth year when in March, 1853, 
he sailed from Boston as commander of the new clipper ship 
Storm King, for his fourth consecutivd voyage around the Horn 
for San Francisco. The Storm King was making her maiden 
voyage, was 184 feet in length, and 1288 tons measurement. 
She was all that a ship could be made at that time, and her cargo 
represented a fortune. Captain Collier was informed by his 
owners, Messrs. Isaac Rich & Co., in their letter of instructions 
to him, of the great confidence they had in him in intrusting to 
so young a captain so valuable a ship and cargo. That their 
confidence was not misplaced was proved by the safe arrival of 
the Storm King home in April, 1854, after a successful voyage 
to San Francisco, touching at Callao on the return voyage. 

If the Storm King carried with her the hopes and fears of her 
owners in Boston, no less was the feeling of anxiety for her safe 
return in the little seaport of Cohasset, whose inhabitants from 
the rocky shore and from boats, which had put out beyond the 
Minots, watched her till she was a speck on the horizon. For 
Captain Collier was not the only Cohasset man on board. His 
third officer was his brother, Christopher, and with him were 
three Cohasset boys making their first voyage, John Hall, Ezekiel 
Marshall, and his nephew, Samuel P. Bates, all three destined to 
become sea captains themselves. 

In 1855 the ship Mattapan came under Captain Collier's com-

mand, and in her a voyage was made to New Orleans and 
probably to other ports, for in 1856 we hear of him at Charleston. 

The 1388-ton ship North America, a beautiful specimen of 
naval architecture, both as regards construction and fittings, 
became Captain Collier's home from 1857 to 1865. October 6th 
of the former year he is reported at London, January 6, 1858, at 
Melbourne, Australia, April at Callao, and September back 
again in London, which port he left for Bombay and Calcutta, 
carrying British troops, among them Captain Havelock, who 
was to win fame and the title of General by his brilliant services 
to the Crown in India. 

The year i860 finds the North America at home, after a three 
years' voyage in foreign seas. In the cargo which she brought to 
Savannah was the first shipment to America of gunny sacks. 

The War of the Rebellion was now near at hand, and Captain 
Collier, as soon as the Star of the East was fired on in her 
attempt to succor Fort Sumter, offered his services to the gov- 
ernment in any capacity in which his experience could be made 
useful. He was refused on the ground of age, he being at that 
time in his forty-eighth year. 

May, 186 1, the North America left New York for St. Johns, 
N. F., thence to Liverpool, from which port she sailed for home 
in November. On this voyage Captain Collier took with him 
four young men from Cohasset as sailors before the mast: George 
H. Smith, Daniel N. Tower, Walter Tower, and Nichols Tower. 
Before the completion of the voyage George Smith was promoted 
to the position of third mate. 

In February, 1862, the North America took on at Boston the 
Fourteenth Maine Regiment and proceeded to Ship Island, at 
the mouth of the Mississippi River. There she took on the 
Thirtieth Massachusetts Regiment, Reed's Mounted Riflemen ^ 
and the Fourth Massachusetts Battery, and started up the river, 
anchoring just below forts Jackson and Philip. After the forts 
were taken by the naval vessels, the North America followed 
General Butler's flagship to New Orleans, and was the second 
vessel to land troops. 

The North America returned to Boston with a cargo of old 
bells and other metal which had been sent to New Orleans from 



566 History of Cohasset. 

the outlying plantations, subject to Beauregard's order, to be 
melted into cannon for the use of the Confederacy. 

From 1862 to 1865 Captain Collier made trips in the North 
America, the ports touched at being New York, London, Antwerp, 
Melbourne, Callao, and the Chinchas. In 1864 he had his eye 
operated on at Antwerp for cataract, a disease common to sea- 
faring men. 

In 1865 the privateer Shenandoah continued preying on the 
commerce of the United States, even after the Confederacy had 
surrendered, and peace had been declared. The North America 
was one of the vessels marked for capture and destruction by the 
captain of this rebel cruiser, but Captain Collier's vigilance was 
equal to that of his pursuer, and the old ''North^' successfully 
passed the Shenandoah in the night in the Australasian seas. 

Either before or after this event the Shenandoah was lying in 
Melbourne harbor, where also were lying a number of United 
States merchantmen. It was decided by the captains of these 
vessels to lay a torpedo in the path of the outgoing Shenandoah, 
and the torpedo was actually made and stored on board of the 
North America. But in some way the captain of the Shenan- 
doah got wind of the scheme and left the harbor before the plan 
could be put in execution. 

This was the last voyage of the North America under the flag 
of the United States. She was sold in South America, and Cap- 
tain Collier returned home by steamer, remaining on land from 
August, 1865, to September, 1866. 

In that month he took command of the new 1310-ton ship 
Tecumseh, of which his nephew, Samuel P. Bates, of Cohasset, 
was first mate. He left Boston, September 7th, for Valparaiso, 
carrying a cargo of cannon and cannon balls for the Chilian 
government, to be used in its war against Peru. The Tecumseh 
arrived at Valparaiso, December loth, and left for Liverpool, 
February loth, arriving there May 29th, and at Boston in July. 

Captain Collier stayed another year on shore, and in Sep- 
tember, 1868, took command of the new 1328-ton ship Pharos, 
which was to be his sea home for the next six years, and in which 
he made the following voyages: Left Boston, September 20, 
1868, arrived at San Francisco, January 25, 1869; left there, 



Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 56^ 

February 24th, arrived at Liverpool, June 29th; left there July 
28th, and arrived at Boston, September 6th. Left Boston, Octo- 
ber, 1869, arrived at San Francisco, March 27th, 1870; left there 
April 20th, arrived at Liverpool, September 5th; left there for 
Boston, October 25th, at which place he arrived, December 13th. 

Captain Collier's next voyage in the Pharos kept him away 
from home three years. He left Boston for New Orleans in 
January, 187 1, arriving there February 17th. Left New Orleans, 
March 22d, for Liverpool, and arrived there in May. June 17th 
he left Liverpool for San Francisco, where he arrived December 
9th. Left San Francisco, January, 1872, for Calcutta, where he 
arrived April 9th, having touched at Singapore, March 20th. 
Sailed from Calcutta in June, touched at St. Helena, September 
14th, for water, and arrived at London, November 4th. January 
28, 1873, left London for Melbourne, arriving there May i8th. 
He left Sidney, August 9th, for San Francisco, arriving there 
October 21st. Here he left the ship and came home by rail, 
while the Pharos kept on her way to Liverpool, where she ended 
her voyage. 

Captain Collier left Boston by steamer in March, 1874, to 
rejoin his ship, but a favorable opportunity offering, he sold the 
ship and returned to Boston by way of Philadelphia. 

From May to December, 1874, Captain Collier was at home, 
part of the time being employed in overseeing the construction 
of the new 1314-ton ship Highland Light, which was building at 
Bath, Me. This vessel he commanded for four years and a 
half. His first voyage in her was over the old route so often 
sailed by him. New York to San Francisco, making the trip in 
127 days, arriving there April 30, 1875. In October he sailed for 
Liverpool, arriving there March 27th, and took on cargo for 
Philadelphia, where he arrived May 15th. June 30th the prow 
of the Highland Light was turned for the second time toward 
San Francisco, arriving there December 2d. 

After unloading she proceeded up the river for a cargo of grain. 
Coming down the river she struck on Blossom Rock, but kept on 
her way to San Francisco, where divers made an examination of 
her bottom, and reported that no damage had resulted from the 
accident. The ship made very slow headway on the voyage to 



568 History of Cohasset. 

Liverpool, where she arrived July 6th, making the voyage in 150 
days. As soon as the cargo was discharged the ship was put into 
dry dock, and a piece of Blossom Rock was discovered sticking 
to the keel. 

The Highland Light left Liverpool, September loth, for Callao, 
arriving there December 15th. Left May i, 1878, for Mauri- 
tius, where she arrived July i6th. On the 15th day of October 
she left Mauritius, and arrived at Calcutta, November 2d. Feb- 
ruary 16, 1879, Captain Collier turned the Highland Light home- 
ward, and arrived in Boston, June 29th, completing a voyage of 
exactly three years. 

Since leaving the Storm King, Captain Collier had been in the 
employ of Thomas Nickerson & Co., of Boston, and his term of 
service with this firm ended only with his retirement from the sea 
in 1886, a period of thirty years, almost as remarkable a record as 
that of the number of his voyages. Naturally between employer 
and employed had grown up a feeling of mutual respect, confidence, 
and good will. Captain Collier had been for some time the captain 
oldest in service in the employ of the firm, and it was natural that 
his employers should turn to him now and ask him to undertake 
a new task. This was to leave the Highland Light, of which he 
was part owner, and take command of another ship. 

Wlien the old Pharos was sold, Nickerson & Co. started on 
the construction of a new Pharos, the largest and finest ship they 
had owned. She was 2200 tons burden, up to date in every 
respect, but had been unlucky since her launching, and the task 
given Captain Collier was to remove the "hoodoo" and make her 
as successful as she deserved to be from the money and skill put 
into her construction. This task was successfully accomplished. 

November 29, 1879, the new ship Pharos left New York for 
London and arrived there December 29th. January 23d left 
London for Cardiff for a cargo for Coquimbo, Chile. Left Cardiff 
February 25th, and arrived at Coquimbo June 14th, which port he 
left August i8th for San Francisco, arriving there October 9th. 
At this port he was joined by his eldest daughter, who made the 
rest of the voyage with him. The voyage was to Liverpool, 
Calcutta, and New York, and proved to be one of the stormiest 
voyages in the career of Captain Collier. 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 569 

The Pharos left San Francisco November 6th for Liverpool, 
where it arrived March 22, 1881, and left June i6th for Calcutta, 
arriving there October loth. Left Calcutta January 10, 1882, 
and arrived at New York May 2d. July 25th the Pharos left 
New York for the port from which she had just returned, arriving 
there December 2 2d. After lying in Calcutta 102 days the Pharos 
turned toward home again, arriving in New York September 14, 
1883. November 25th of the same year the prow of the Pharos 
was once more turned toward India, Bombay this time being her 
destination. At this port she arrived in April, 1884, and left for 
Cochin June 8th, where she took on a cargo for New York, arriving 
November 17th. 

February 5, 1885, Captain Collier started on what was to be his 
last voyage. He left New York in the Pharos, bound to Bombay, 
where he arrived June 17th. After discharging cargo left for 
Calcutta August 25th, and arrived September 21st. While loading 
for New York he contracted the fever, from the efifects of which 
he never fully recovered. He left for New York, November loth, 
and arrived there April 2, 1886. He was then in the seventy-third 
year of his age, and for five years remained at home, gradually 
succumbing to the inroads of old age, until, January 14, 1891, at 
the age of seventy-eight, he furled his sails and dropped anchor in 
that harbor whence no ship has ever sailed back. 

Although Captain Collier made several quick passages, he was 
never a driver, his idea being to bring his ship into port in as good 
condition as when she left. His long experience had taught him 
the folly of carrying sail when nothing was to be gained by it and 
possibly everything might be lost. He had become skilled in 
detecting the approach and escaping from monsoons and typhoons, 
and in one of his last voyages to New York from Calcutta, from 
which port he sailed in company with two other ships, he escaped, 
by calculating its course, a monsoon which destroyed his companion 
ships. 

Besides the ports touched at in the United States in his early 
coasting trips, a partial record of ports he visited is as follows: 
Coquimbo, Maracaibo, Queenstown, Malaga, Antwerp, Chincha, 
Valparaiso, Porto Rico, Singapore, Cardiff, Kingston, Santiago, 
Yucatan, Bordeaux, Buenos Ayres, Monte Video, Mauritius, once

each; Rio Janeiro, twice; Melbourne and Bombay, three times; 
Callao, four times; London and Calcutta, six times; New Orleans, 
seven; Liverpool, eight, and San Francisco, ten times. 

Captain James Hall, a son of Captain George Hall, was bom 
in 1 817 at the old Collier house on North Scituate Beach. The 
first sound probably that came to his ears was the sound of waves, 
and it certainly was the last. Presumably he served the usual 
apprenticeship of Cohasset boys on board fishing crafts, and in 
1839 was captain of the schooner Industry, which his father had 
commanded before him, but the first record we have of him is 
on the voyage to Bordeaux on the bark Hobart, under the captaincy 
of his cousin, James Collier. Mr. Hall stayed with the Hobart 
until after his return from Ireland, and probably soon afterward 
became captain of his own vessel. He was captain in 1850 of the 
Stranger and in 1853 of the Albion. The greater part of his life 
he sailed between New York and the Cape of Good Hope in the 
wool trade. 

He was at one time master of the bark James A. Lee, and is 
registered at the Boston Custom House in 1859 as captain of the 
594-ton bark William G. Anderson. 

In a terrific storm off Cape Horn in the year 1870, he was killed 
by a wave which came aboard his ship Orion, and was buried at sea. 

He succeeded his father as member of the Order of the Cincinnati. 

Isaac Hall, a brother of Captain James Hall, was not by 
profession a sea captain, but a shipbuilder, but he seems to have 
been equipped with the knowledge and skill necessary for that 
position, for, as will be seen later on, he commanded a brig from 
Turks Island to Boston. He also commanded the 80-ton schooner 
Francis M. Steele in a voyage from Boston to California, which 
State he made his home for the rest of his life. 

Wlnslow G. Hall, another brother, is also on the record, master 
of the 108-ton schooner John D. Sanborn, of San Francisco, 
November 16, 1864. 

Captain Christopher Collier, youngest son of Captain 
James Collier, was bom in Cohasset in 18 19, and learned in Boston 
the trade of a mason. He returned home in 1847 to be with his 



Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 571 

father in his last days, and stayed on the farm in North Scituate 
until after his father's death in 1850, when he took command of a 
schooner lightering stone to Minots Lighthouse, then in process 
of construction. He also made voyages to the West Indies with 
Captain Hough Larry as mate. In 1852 he was captain of the 
schooner Profit. He sailed in the Storm King, as has been related, 
as mate in 1854, on a voyage to San Francisco and return, and in 
1856 was mate of the bark Quincy, Captain, Joseph H. Smith. 

On his return from this voyage he became master of the bark 
Avon, in which he started on his last trip in 1862 on a voyage to 
Valparaiso and return. The voyage to Valparaiso was made in 
safety, but on the return trip, loaded with ore, the old vessel 
succumbed to the force of a terrible storm, and all on board went 
down with her. 

The Avon had just been spoken by a captain who had formerly 
commanded her, and who, a few days after, with a new, strong 
vessel, succeeded with dijEhculty in weathering the gale. It was 
his prediction on arriving in port that the Avon was too old, and 
loaded with too dangerous a cargo to outlive the terrible storm 
which he knew she had encountered. 

Captain Collier was a man of very large size, and was noted for 
his strength. He often remarked that at 10.30 on Sunday mornings 
when at sea he could fancy that he was being prayed for by his old 
pastor, Mr. Osgood, in the words he habitually used, "Be with 
those who go down to the sea in ships and do business on the 
great waters." He was named for his uncle, Christopher Lincoln, 
who was lost at sea in 1804. 

So was added another to the long list of Cohasset mariners who 
had "gone down to the sea in ships" but had never returned. 
When sometime in Cohasset a marine park shall be constructed 
overlooking the harbor, formerly a scene of busding activity, there 
will perchance be erected a monument to the memory of those who 
have lost their lives at sea: John Williams, Charles Bennett, John 
Barker, James Hall, and many others, and not the least among 
these shall stand the name of Christopher Collier. 

The meagreness of any records of Cohasset's captains has been 
spoken of in these pages, but the author of this chapter hastens to 
acknowledge his indebtedness to an account of his own life, written 



572 History of Cohasset. 

after his retirement from the sea, for the perusal of his grand- 
children, by Captain John P. T. Percival. 

This very interesting account gives a familiar insight into the 
life of a Yankee sailor fifty to eighty years ago. 

John Philip Turner Percival was bom at Hanover, Mass., 
October 19, 1818. When eleven years of age he made his first 
voyage as boy on the fishing schooner La Grange from Scituate, 
Captain, Simeon Bates. He was allowed to take this trip by his 
parents in the hope that he would be cured of his love for the sea 
by the hardships of the voyage, but after the usual winter's schooling 
of the Yankee boys of those days, we find him on the schooner 
Henry Clay of Hingham, and during the season he held up his end 
as a boy of twelve by catching 105 barrels of mackerel, and the 
next season the same vessel had him as a member of her crew. 

In 1832 he sailed under Captain John Nye, of Hingham, in the 
schooner Mary. In 1833 he makes his first voyage from Cohasset 
in the schooner Myra, Henry Snow, Jr., Captain, and A. H. Tower, 
owner. In the winter of 1834 in the schooner Billow, Captain 
Samuel Webb, he sailed from Scituate to Quincy, where a cargo of 
stone was taken on board for New York. 

The young sailor notes with curiosity the railway built to convey 
the stones from the quarry to the wharf, the first of its kind in 
America. After unloading the stone in New York, a cargo was 
taken on for Richmond, Va. In the summer he again became a 
member of the Myrd's crew. 

In the winter of 1835 he took another Southern coasting trip in 
the Billow, and in the summer sailed again from Cohasset in the 
fishing schooner Beta Bates, A. H. Tower, owner, Captain, Nichols 
Pratt. 

In 1837, at the age of nineteen, he became Captain and one- 
eighth owner of the fishing schooner Achsah, of which George 
Lawrence of Cohasset owned the other seven-eighths. Having 
gone as far as he could in the fishing industry, he went to Boston 
and obtained the berth of mate in the bark Sarah and Esther, 
Captain, Royal S. Higgins, for Gibraltar and Malaga. On his 
return he signed with Captain Henry Vinal, of Scituate, in the 
topsail schooner Ontario as mate. The first trip in this vessel was 



Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 573 

to Galveston with a cargo of houses ready to be put together, and 
these were the first houses erected on the island. During the 
winter trading voyages were made between Galveston and New 
Orleans. 

In 1840 Mr. Percival shipped on board the new ship Palmyra 
before the mast under Captain John Gushing, of Hanover. The 
voyage was to Charleston, Mobile, Liverpool, and home, but at 
Charleston he was promoted to the position of third mate, and on 
arriving at Boston was made second mate, and in that capacity 
made a voyage to New Orleans and back. He was then made 
first mate of the bark Gulnare, still under Captain Gushing, and 
made three annual voyages with him to Havana, St. Petersburg, 
Bordeaux, and New Orleans. 

In 1844 he sailed on the bark Juno as first mate under Captain 
John W. Dicks for Havana, St. Petersburg, Wiborg, Bordeaux, 
New Orleans, Trieste, and Smyrna. On his arrival in Boston in 
August, 1845, he g^'Ve up his position and was married to Miss 
Drusilla Snow, daughter of Captain Ephraim Snow, of Cohasset. 

In September, 1845, ^^ sailed as mate of the ship Niohe to New 
Orleans and return. In the fall of 1846 he took command of the 
schooner Joshua Bates, of Cohasset, owned by Captain Ephraim 
Snow and others, for a trading voyage in the Gulf of Mexico, 
touching at Galveston, New Orleans, Havana, Mobile, and Apa- 
lachicola, a very successful trip both for owners and captain. On 
this voyage he made one of the quickest trips on record, up to 
that time, between Havana and New Orleans. 

At the end of the fishing season in 1847 he started out with the 
new schooner Matilda, John Bates, owner, for a trading voyage on 
the Gulf of Mexico, but on account of the dullness of the trade, 
passed the winter in freighting between New Orleans and 
Savannah. 

In 1850 Captain Percival obtained the position of first mate 
in the new ship Moses Wheeler, built by the celebrated ship- 
builder Donald McKay, and commanded by James B. King. 
In this vessel he made three voyages to New Orleans, thence to 
Liverpool, and back to Boston in Enoch Train's line. On the 
last of these voyages he received at Liverpool a letter from 
Mr. John Bates, ofifering him the command of the bark Vesta, a 



574 History of Cohasset. 

vessel which had been wrecked on the Cohasset rocks, bought by 
Mr. Bates, and repaired. He accepted this offer, but found when 
he arrived in Boston a position awaiting him as captain of the 
new bark Falcon, at $125 per month, which position he was 
obliged to decline. 

In the Vesta Captain Percival made successive voyages to 
Porto Rico and back to Boston; to Marseilles and Messina, 
thence to New York; from New York to New Orleans, thence to 
Philadelphia; from Philadelphia to New Orleans and back to 
Boston, where he arrived July 8, 1853. On July 25th of the 
same year he left for Gibraltar, accompanied by his wife and his 
infant son, arriving home in January, 1854. 

In December of this year, the Vesta was chartered for a trad- 
ing voyage along the west coast of Africa. On this voyage, 
when off the coast of Africa, Captain Percival was stricken with 
fever, and for a long time lay in a hut on shore, his life almost 
despaired of by the rude natives, who were his only attendants, and 
whose only method of cure was the beating of tom-toms. At length, 
in spite of this soothing attention, he recovered sufficiently to be 
placed on a mattress in an open boat and rowed down the coast 
until he fell in with the Vesta, which had been trading up and 
down the coast, and resumed command. This voyage was ter- 
minated by the arrival of the Vesta in Boston, in the latter part of 
June. 

On the next voyage to Smyrna and Constantinople, the bark 
was attacked in the Mediterranean by a crew of pirates who 
were enabled by a calm to steal upon the Vesta in their felucca 
and cast their grappling irons over the rail. The officers of the 
Vesta, Gustavus Percival, brother of the Captain, and John L. 
Pratt of Cohasset, were, however, on their guard and with the 
crew were ready to meet them and beat them off. The grap- 
pling iron, which was cut from its rope, hung for a long time in 
the office of the owners of the vessel, Messrs. Trull Bros., who 
had bought the Vesta and made Captain Percival their agent as 
well as captain. The next voyage of the Vesta was made under 
the command of Gustavus Percival, Captain Percival remaining 
on shore to build the house on South Main Street, now occupied 
by Mr. George Nickerson.

In January, 1856, Captain Percival took command of the 
Vesta once more, and made two more voyages to the Mediter- 
ranean, on the latter of which he was accompanied by his wife 
and two eldest daughters. On this voyage the Vesta encountered 
so severe a storm outside Gibraltar that she was obliged to lie at 
Malta six weeks for repairs. 

These voyages were made during the Crimean War, and when 
at the close of the war the owners had no further use for the vessel, 
the Vesta was sold in Malta, together with two others of Trull 
Bros.* fleet, and Captain Percival and his family returned home 
as passengers in the ship Pathfinder, arriving in July, 1858. 

In August of the same year, having bought a quarter interest 
in the bark Forest Belle, Captain Percival made a voyage to the 
Cape of Good Hope, and in January, 1859, took a cargo of ice 
to Savannah, where he loaded for Beyrout, Syria, with a cargo of 
lumber, the Syrian Government having forbidden the cutting of 
the 'cedars of Lebanon from the sides of the mountain. Captain 
Percival was accompanied on this voyage by his wife and three 
daughters. Syrian wool made the cargo for the voyage home. 

In i860, in the same vessel, he made a voyage to Havana, 
Cienfuegos, and back to Boston. His next voyage was to Liver- 
pool, which was made in nineteen days, but he missed there the 
fine sailing packet ships which visited this port in the forties and 
early fifties, now crowded out by the steamships. At Liverpool a 
cargo of coal was taken on for Genoa, at which port, after 
encountering the most severe storm in the English Channel he 
had ever experienced, Captain Percival arrived safely, whence he 
sailed for Messina for a cargo of fruit, with which he arrived in 
Boston. 

In May, 1861, the Forest Belle took a cargo of sugar from 
Boston to Antwerp, thence to Shields for a cargo of coal for Bar- 
celona. On arrival at this port it was learned that the Confeder- 
ate Privateer Sumter had been cruising off Gibraltar, capturing 
and burning American merchantmen, making it impossible to 
obtain a charter for any voyage which would necessitate passing 
through the Straits of Gibraltar. The vessel was, therefore, 
chartered to take a cargo of wheat from Alexandria to Mar- 
seilles, but before leaving Barcelona the Sumter was reported 



576 History of Cohasset. 

cruising off Marseilles and Toulon. -The voyage, however, was 
made in safety, and the vessel arrived at Alexandria without 
being sighted by the Sumter. At this port news of the Mason 
and Slidell affair was received, and Captain Percival, for the 
first time, had the uncomfortable experience which was the lot 
of Yankee captains in European ports during the Civil War. 

At that time the English captains in port at once declared war 
and intimated to Captain Percival that he might, before reaching 
home, be taken a captive and held under the paw of the British 
Lion. At Marseilles the prospect was discouraging enough. 
The Sumter was cruising off outside the port; a large part of 
the English navy was lying in Gibraltar Bay, making a menacing 
appearance, and no freight offered for an American vessel. The 
only thing to do vi^as to wait. The sails were unbent, put in 
order, and stowed away, and everything was snugged up. Part 
of the crew were discharged, and the rest, with the officers, sat 
down to wait. 

The freeing of Mason and Slidell and the arrest of the Sumter 
by the Spanish Government put a new face on the matter, and 
Captain Percival found it an easy matter to obtain a cargo of 
fruit at Palermo for Boston. While lying in the Straits of Gib- 
raltar, waiting for a change of wind, he had the satisfaction of 
sailing around the Sumter, lying in Algeciras Bay, a captive of 
the Spanish Government. The trip to Boston was made without 
falling in with any Confederate vessels. 

In seeking for a new charter for the Forest Belle it was found 
that the old routes by which former voyages were made must be 
abandoned on account of the activity of the Confederate pri- 
vateers. Therefore the next and last voyage of Captain Percival 
was to a part of the world never before visited by him — the 
coast of China. On June 28, 1862, he set sail for the port of 
Shanghai, where he arrived February i, 1863. After unloading, 
the ship was chartered for trading along the Chinese coast, and 
in this trade Captain Percival remained until 1866, when he 
returned home, leaving the Forest Belle in charge of Captain 
Bryant, of Plympton. The vessel was afterwards sold in China, 
and Captain Percival, giving up the calling which he had followed 
for thirty-seven years, opened a drug store in Boston, in partner- 



Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 577 

ship with his brother-in-law, Dr. French, under the firm name 
of Percival & French. Mr. French's interest was soon after 
bought out by Captain Percival, and the sign of J. P. T. Percival 
on the comer of State and Washington Streets, later nearly 
opposite, and finally on School Street as the City Hall Drug 
Store, was a familiar one for nearly thirty years to many Boston 
people, and particularly so to his old mercantile and seafaring 
friends, especially those from Cohasset and other points on the 
South Shore. 

It could never be said of Captain Percival that the life of a 
sailor made a stern or rough man of him, for he was uniformly 
pleasant and gende. He was devotedly attached to his family, 
and found greatest pleasure in his voyages when accompanied 
by his wife and children. His nature was such that he took 
keen enjoyment in the strange places he visited abroad, thus 
making of his voyages trips in search of pleasure and knowledge 
as well as of business. With the first money which he was able 
to save he bought and presented to his parents their homestead. 
He was helpful also to his brothers in their seafaring life. The 
old saying could be applied to him with truth, — a dutiful son, a 
good brother, and a kind husband and father. 

Captain Percival died in Boston, October 31, 1895. 

Captain Joseph H. Smith was bom in Portsmouth, England, 
in 181 7, and when a young man was a sailor on the Queen's 
yacht. The exact inducement which led him to settle in Cohasset 
we do not know. In 1841 he paid hospital money at the port of 
Cohasset as the captain of the schooner Triton. In 1845 he 
interested Mr. Laban Souther to build with him the brig Almatia, 
of 98 tons burden. While she was building, he and Mr. George 
Lawrence made a trip to Virginia for a load of corn, and subse- 
quently made another trip for a load of oysters for the Boston 
market. The facilities for caring for a perishable commodity 
in those days were few and imperfect compared with those of 
to-day, nor was the capacity of Boston for this toothsome bivalve 
anywhere near what it is now. Consequently when Captain Smith 
and Mr. Lawrence arrived in Boston and found that another 
schooner had just brought in a load of oysters, they saw that their 



578 History of Cohasset. 

venture was a total loss. They consequently sailed for Cohasset, 
and at a point between Whitehead and the entrance to the Cove 
threw the cargo overboard, where the shells could be seen for 
years afterward lying on the bottom. 

In a short time after the Almatia was built Captain Smith was 
able to buy Mr. Souther's interest, and made thirty-seven trips 
in her to Curacoa. The Almatia later, while under the command 
of Captain Merritt, of Scituate, was wrecked on Cape Cod. 
Captain Smith then bought, in 1852, the full-rigged brig George 
Otis, and sold her in France. The next vessel which he com- 
manded, and of which he owned a quarter, was the 283-ton bark 
Martha Allen, built at Scituate in 1849, which he sold in Smyrna. 
He then bought the 453-ton ship Sarah, in which he made 
several voyages. On one of his voyages he found himself at 
Buenos Ayres, unable to obtain a cargo home. He therefore 
went to Turks Island for a load of salt, and while there bought 
at a bargain two brigs, which had been washed ashore by- a 
tidal wave. On his return to Cohasset he succeeded in interest- 
ing Mr. Isaac Hall in the project, and they fitted out the Sarah, 
manned by a crew of Cohasset men, returned to Turks Island, 
got the brigs oflf, and brought them to Boston. 

These brigs were named the Mungo Park and the River Belle. 
Captain Smith commanded one, Isaac Hall the other, and Joe 
Ware the Sarah. 

The next voyage of the Sarah was to Charleston, S. C, under 
the command of Captain Henry Merritt, where she was to load 
for France, but off Cape Hatteras the vessel took fire and was a 
total loss. The crew, of which George H. Smith, the captain's 
son, was one, escaped in boats and were picked up and taken 
into Savannah. 

In 1856 Captain Smith took command of the bark Quincy, 
built at Quincy, and owned by John T. Shattuck, in which he 
made a voyage to Curacoa and back with Christopher Collier as 
mate. Under the date of May 7, 1857, appears the record in the 
Register of the Boston Custom House of the 473-ton bark 
Almatia, owned by James Gould and Joseph Young, and built 
by William Hall of Boston, Joseph H. Smith, captain. The 
only bark Almatia of which George H. Smith has any recollection.

with which his father had any connection, was built at about 
that time of about that tonnage, but was built at Scituate by the 
Briggs Brothers, and owned by Captain Smith and A. H. Tower. 
George Smith and D. N. Tower, young boys then, went down to 
the launching. Mr. C. A. Cousens had the contract for making 
her sails, which was his first contract. 

The Almatia was sold as soon as she was loaded, and Captain 
Smith never sailed as her master. From " Shipbuilding on the 
North River," by L. Vernon Briggs, we quote, " The last vessel 
built by Sylvester and Barnabas Briggs was the bark Eveline, 
650 tons, for Captain Joseph H. Smith, of Cohasset. She was 
begun February 10, 1859. She made a remarkably quick passage 
on her first trip, arriving at her port two days before she was due." 

He next owned and sailed, in i860, the 922-ton ship Rockland, 
in which he made a number of voyages to New Orleans, and sold 
her in London. At this time the War of the Rebellion was in 
progress, and Captain Smith obtained a government contract to 
clean the bottoms of vessels at Port Royal, S. C, and stayed there 
two years or more, his son, George, being with him. 

At the close of the war he took command for the firm of F. Nick- 
erson & Company the 671 -ton steamer yl?^r(?ra. The Aurora wdiS 
bought from the United States Government, and was formerly 
called the Itasca. This vessel Captain Smith sold in Callao to 
the Peruvian Government. This was his last voyage. After his 
retirement from sea, he acted as Underwriter's Agent for the 
Boston Insurance Company. 

Captain Smith united with good seamanship an unusual 
capacity for business, which enabled him to take advantage of 
opportunities offering which other captains would have failed to 
see. 

He died in Cohasset, December 28, 1879. 

Jacob Flint Bates was bom in Cohasset, August 8, 1822, in 
the house now owned by his niece, Mrs. Nathan Manasse. His 
paternal grandfather, Samuel Bates, was lost in his schooner off 
the Rocks outside Cohasset harbor, and his maternal grandfather, 
Nathaniel Nichols, known as "Captain Than," was at one time 
captain of a revenue cutter. 



580 History of CoJmsset. 

After learning the carpenter's trade in Boston and trying for a 
few months to become an apothecary, he took up the calling which 
was to be his through life, and which has drawn so many Cohasset 
boys away from trades and shops — the calling of a sailor. 

Probably his first deep sea voyage was made in the bark Hobart 
early in 1842, when under the command of Captain James Collier 
she made a trip from New York to Charleston, Bordeaux, New 
Orleans, and back to New York. 

In October of the same year he again shipped on the Hobart for 
a voyage to South America, but as has already been told in the 
life of Captain James Collier, did not get back to New York until 
1847, when he returned as first mate of the Hobart. It must have 
been hard for these Cohasset boys on their arrival in New York 
to find that their return to Cohasset was to be deferred for a short 
time. The famine in Ireland called for provisions and the Hobart 
was chartered to carry a cargo to the sufferers in that stricken 
country. On his return to Cohasset he married, in December, 
1847, Caroline Lothrop Bates. The next year he served as first 
mate on the brig Monserrat under the command of his brother-in- 
law, Captain Collier, on a voyage from New York to Porto Rico 
and return. 

At the completion of this voyage he took command of the brig 
Allen King, plying between New York and ports in South America. 
On one of these voyages in 1850 he was accompanied by his wife 
and infant daughter. In 185 1 the Allen King was wrecked on a 
coral reef off the coast of Balize. No blame attached to the 
captain of the brig for this disaster, as the reef lay further off 
shore than was represented on the map, and the absence of 
breakers prevented discovery of the danger lurking beneath the 
calm surface of the ocean. No lives were lost, and the passengers 
and crew were safely landed at Balize. 

The next command of Captain Bates was the William Alden, 
in which he sailed in the same trade between New York and Balize 
until 1857, when he took command of the bark Honduras, a new 
vessel built for him under his supervision on East River, New York. 
In this vessel Captain Bates was a large shareholder. For ten 
years he commanded the Honduras, making voyages to Balize, 
Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, and other South American ports,

stopping often at the West Indies for a return cargo. During a 
part of this time the War of the Rebellion was going on, and all 
the vigilance of Captain Bates was necessary to prevent the 
Honduras from falling into the hands of the Confederate privateers. 

From 1 86 1 to 1863 Captain Bates remained on shore cultivating 
the farm he had bought at Hempstead, Long Island, where his 
two younger daughters were born. 

In 1870 Captain Bates, like so many other natives of Cohasset, 
returned to the home of his birth and established his family in the 
house on South Main Street, which was his home until his death. 

His next command was the bark James L. Pender gast, in which 
vessel he sailed for eleven years, making voyages between America 
and Europe. Not all of these voyages were over untroubled seas, 
for in the possession of the family of Captain Bates is a picture of 
the Pender gast, depicted riding the mountainous waves with only 
the foresails set. This picture was executed in Havre by an 
artist who followed the description by Captain Bates of the storm 
which threatened to engulf the Pendergast. No wonder that the 
thoughts of Captain Bates reverted to the sad fate of his boyhood 
shipmate, Captain James Hall, as his vessel scudded before the gale. 

In 1 88 1 the Pendergast made a trip to Capetown, thence across 
the Indian Ocean to Java, from there to Singapore, and thence 
home. At the completion of this long voyage Captain Bates 
took a summer's rest at his Cohasset home. 

In the fall of 1882 he took on a new command, the bark Thomas 
Fletcher, and sailed November 9th to England, but on the return 
voyage encountered such terrific gales in the English Channel that 
he was obliged to put in to Falmouth with all the masts sprung and 
one gone by the board. On his return to New York he sailed for 
Brunswick, Georgia, where he loaded with lumber for Buenos 
Ayres, and from this city, which had been one of the first foreign 
ports he had visited as a young man, and which had been his goal 
for so many voyages since, he sailed back and forth several times 
to Montreal and Quebec, or to Brunswick, Georgia. 

On the 20th of August, 1885, the Thomas Fletcher sailed from 
Quebec on what proved to be her last voyage, her destination 
Buenos Ayres. After eighty-seven days of slow sailing she had 
come to within about eight hundred miles of her destination, when 



582 History of C okas set. 

a violent gale with heavy seas sprang up, and the deck load began 
to slip into the ocean as the Fletcher put her sail under water. 
Soon the straining of the vessel opened her seams, and the crew 
were put to the pumps. Still the water gained and at midnight 
had broken into the cabin from below, when the attempt to keep 
the waterlogged vessel clear by pumping was given up. 

In rapid succession the log book describes the throwing over- 
board of the remaining deck-load, the bursting open of the seams 
of the deck, the carrying away of the lee pin-rail and bulwarks, the 
houses on deck nearly full of water and commencing to break up, 
provisions and wearing apparel spoiled, soaked and washed away, 
the water tanks below deck covered with sea water, and the one 
on deck only protected from the constant surge of the waves by 
the small portion of the deck load kept for that purpose, sails set 
to steady the vessel, only to be blown to ribbons. 

For twelve days the Thomas Fletcher, now little more than a 
water-logged hulk, drifted toward her destination, the boats in 
readiness to be launched at the first sign of her breaking up, the 
masts still standing, but the axes handy m case it should be 
necessary to cut some of them away to keep the bark afloat, all 
hands anxiously on the lookout for a sail. At length, twelve days 
after the first gale had struck her, the Thomas Fletcher limped into 
the harbor of Montevideo, still one hundred miles from the city 
of Buenos Ayres. With the help of a tug this voyage was made 
at the rate of five miles per day, until on December 21, 1885, four 
months from the day she left Quebec, a period longer than is 
sometimes taken for the voyage round the Horn to San Francisco, 
the Fletcher tied up at the wharf of Buenos Ayres and began to 
unload the cargo of water-soaked lumber which she had carried in 
her hold so many weary days. 

After unloading, the bark was condemned as unseaworthy, and 
sold at auction. No doubt the feeling in Captain Bates's mind 
was something akin to that of David Harum's in regard to his 
balky horse when he remarked, "The' was times when if he'd 
a fell down dead, I wouldn't hev figgered on puttin' a band on my 
hat." 

June 17, 1886, Captain Bates arrived in Cohasset, anticipating 
that he had made his last voyage. But his old bark, the James L. 



CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 583 

Pendergasl, was at New York, and her owners, E. D. Morgan & Co., 
commissioned Captain Bates to fit her out for a trip to France. 
When the bark was ready for sea, Captain Bates could not resist 
the temptation of making one more trip as her master. So on 
August II, 1887, he sailed from New York on his last voyage. 
The voyage was to Rouen, France, thence to Georgia, from 
Georgia to South America, and back home to New York, where on 
the nth of October, 1888, he ended forty-four years of seagoing. 

If Captain Bates possessed one characteristic which distinguished 
him from other men of his calling, it was his gentleness. The 
discipline on board the vessels he commanded, which was excellent, 
was obtained by courteous and kind treatment. He was so tender- 
hearted that he could not bear to see suffering, even in animals, 
and on one occasion laid his vessel to to pick up a cat which had 
fallen overboard. Much of his life had been spent in the Spanish 
ports of Europe and South America, and by study he became 
master of the Spanish language. 

While in the ports and cities of France he turned his attention 
to the language of that country, and attained to some proficiency 
in it. His spare time on board ship was spent in the perusal of 
good literature, and his mind was singularly well stored with 
information gained by the improvement of these leisure hours. 

His capacity for enjoying the strange sights of the foreign cities, 
he visited was immense, and his only regret was in the fact that he 
did not have the members of his family with him to share his 
pleasure. On many occasions when his voyages brought him into 
South American ports he found the yellow fever raging there, but 
he was singularly immune to this disease, as much probably from 
his correct habits of life and careful manner of living as from 
anything peculiar in his constitution. He was ever ready to act 
as attendant to members of his crew or countrymen stricken with 
this disease in a foreign land, nursing them back to life or com- 
forting their last moments on earth with his soothing ministrations. 

He died at his home in Cohasset in the year 1898, one to whom 
the words of Shakespeare may fitly be applied, — " His life was 
gentle and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand 
up and say to all the world, 'This was a man.'" 

As has been said early in this chapter, there were three Cohasset 



584 History of Cohasset. 

boys on the clipper ship Storm King, making their first voyage on 
a new ship. These were John Hall, Ezekiel Marshall, and 
Samuel P. Bates. The first of these was the cousin of the 
captain, and his father, Samuel Hall, had been a captain of fishing 
and coasting vessels. 

During the War of the Rebellion, John Hall served in the navy, 
and at the expiration of his term served as mate on steamers plying 
between Valparaiso and Panama. He finally became captain of 
one of these steamers. 

Ezekiel Marshall early in life went to the Pacific coast of the 
United States, where he arose to be captain of a vessel, but finally 
entered the lumber business. 

Samuel P. Bates, a nephew of the captain of the Storm King, 
remained with him after the voyage in the Storm King was com- 
pleted, and rose through the grades from boy to ordinary seaman, 
thence to able seaman, finally becoming first officer of th^Tecumseh, 
North America, and Pharos; he also served under Captain John 
Warren Bates on the Flying Eagle. 

His first command was the schooner M. A. Snow, owned by 
Ephraim Snow, of Cohasset, which he took from Boston to San 
Francisco. On this voyage, off the coast of Chili, he took a crew 
from their shipwrecked vessel and carried them into Valparaiso. 
In spite of this detention the trip was made from Boston to San 
Francisco in 140 days, which for so small a vessel, about 100 tons, 
was a very good passage. 

After arriving on the Pacific coast, Captain Bates made his 
home there, entering the employ of J. W. Ralston & Co., of San 
Francisco, trading between that port and Bellingham Bay. He 
also made voyages to Australia and China, commanding various 
ships, among them, it is said, being the old Amethyst, in which his 
townsman, Joseph Willcut, had sailed a half century before. 
During his lifetime he visited nearly all the important ports of the 
world, and his voyages were made without any serious accident. 

Captain Bates, like many men who have traveled far and seen 
much, was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, making friends 
both at home and abroad. By his integrity and straightforward- 
ness he won the esteem and confidence of his employers, who 
valued him not less as a friend than as an employee. In 1884 he

retired from the sea and spent the last years of his life in Cohasset, 
where he died June 10, 1908, the last of Cohasset's deep sea 
captains residing in the town. 

Captain Harrison P. Snow, now living at Nantasket, is the 
last survivor of Cohasset's deep sea captains. His father was 
Captain Ephraim Snow, who owned a fleet of fishing schooners, 
having a wharf on the northerly side of the Cove. This business 
was later transferred to East Boston. 

Captain Snow made his first voyage as captain in the year 1863, 
when he took the 132-ton schooner, the H. N. Ruggles, from 
Boston to Valparaiso, thence to San Francisco, where he sold her 
and came home. This vessel was owned, one-eighth by Harrison 
P. Snow, three-eighths by Ephraim Snow, one-eighth by Calvin 
Merriam of Cohasset, and three-eighths by Bela F. Jacobs of 
South Scituate. 

The bark Ethan Allen was then bought, and for four years 
Captain Snow commanded her in voyages to Honolulu, San 
Francisco, China, and Australia. In 187 1 he returned to Cohasset, 
and for a few years remained on shore. He then sailed in the 
fruit trade between Philadelphia and the West Indies in the 
schooner White Wing and the steamer Gulnare. 

In 1879 h^ "^v^^t ^s first mate on the ship Highland Light from 
New York to Japan and return. In 1882 he gave up the sea 
altogether, and since that time has been with the Nantasket Beach 
Steamboat Company as Wharf Agent. 

In addition to the 135 vessels mentioned in the "Narrative History 
of Cohasset" as having been built in Cohasset, we append a list 
of other vessels built there, which have been found by the writer 
of this chapter in turning over every leaf in the registers at the 
Boston Custom House from the year 1806 to 1870.

CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 587 

This, of course, gives the names only of such vessels as were 
registered for deep sea voyages, as the author was searching pri- 
marily for deep sea captains and vessels. The enrollment book 
of the Port of Cohasset, if it could be found (and it is probably 
stowed away in some attic), might furnish other names. There 
would doubtless be found the enrollment of the bark Hohart, 
June 10, 1840, there also the enrollment of the ship Grand Turk. 
In regard to the latter vessel there seems to be a mystery which 
cannot be fathomed. 

The diary of Joel Willcutt has these two entries, " 1829, Feb- 
ruary 5, the ship Grand Turk launched this day." " February 8, 
the new ship went to Boston." But she is neither enrolled nor 
registered in Boston, nor does the register of the Port of Salem 
bear her name, although two other Grand Turks were built for 
E. H. Derby of that city, one of them, built in 1781, hailing from 
the " South Shore." 

Possibly the owner of the Cohasset Grand Turk, on making appli- 
cation for a register, found there was already a ship afloat under 
that name and took the name of the Hellespont, which ship, 
haiUng from Cohasset, was registered in Boston in April of the same 
year. But this is only surmise. 

The registers of the Boston Custom House from 1789 to 1806 
are in Washington, and there seems no probability of their ever 
being returned. These registers probably contain the names of 
other vessels built at Cohasset. At this point the author wishes 
to express his appreciation of the labor of the Rev. E. Victor Bige- 
low in collecting his data on ship building in Cohasset for the 
Narrative History, an appreciation formed by going painfully 
over the same ground. 

The author is indebted to Mr. John Robinson, of the Marine 
Department of the Peabody Museum, Salem, for the following 
information in regard to Cohasset-built vessels owned in Salem: — 

Schooner Whim, 100 tons, 1794, owned by John Derby. 

Schooner Minerva, 103 tons, 1799, owned by James Silver and 
others. 

Ship Nerva, 277 tons, 1805, owned by Simon Forrester and 
others. 

Schooner Speedwell, 96 tons, 181 1, owned by James Odell, 1824. 



588 History of Cokasset. 

Brig Charles Doggeli, 100 tons, 1826, owned by the Rogers firm 
in 183 1 and attacked by natives at Fiji in 1833, the mate and five 
men killed. See " Historical Sketch of Salem," p. 171. 

Bark Statesman, 258 tons, 1826, owned by Timothy Bryant and 
others, 1836. 

Brig Russell, 126 tons, 1835, owned by David Pingree, 1844. 

Brig Eliza Burgess, 167 tons, 1838, owned by Chas. H. Fabens 
and others in Salem, 1855. 

Bark Catherine, 226 tons, 1840, owned by William Hunt and 
Robert Brookhouse, 1849. 

Bark William Schroder, 338 tons, 1840, owned by George West, 
David Pingree and others, 1844. 

Bark Lewis, 217 tons, 1841, owned by George West and others 
in 1848. 

Bark Europa, 397 tons, 1849, owned by B. W. Stone and others 
of Salem. 

To Mr. G. F. Dow, secretary of the Essex Institute, Salem, the 
author is indebted for the loan of the cuts of the William Schroder 
and the Eliza Burgess. 

It seems strange that no vessel launched from Cohasset was 
given the name of the town from which it hailed, but the ship 
Conohasset is the only namesake of Cohasset built in Cohasset. 
The registry of the Boston Custom House has a 63-ton schooner 
built in Boston in 1835 named Cohasset, and owned by James 
Huckins and Horace Scudder. 

The author lets this chapter go from his hands with a feeling of 
satisfaction that at this late day and with limited time at his com- 
mand, he has been able to get so much, but with a deep feeling 
of regret that he was able to obtain so little concerning so many 
of Cohasset's deep sea captains.

WRECKS, WRECKING AND LIFE SAVING IN 

COHASSET. 

By Oliver H. Howe. 

The Narrative History of Cohasset has mentioned a few of the 
wrecks which occurred off Cohasset, and has given full particu- 
lars of the notable wreck of the emigrant ship St. John in 1849. 
The following account of some additional disasters with inciden- 
tal life-saving and salvage of property may be of interest. The 
earliest records obtainable are in the diary of Joel Willcutt. (See 
page 478 of this volume.) These quaint entries show the close 
sympathy of the people of this sea-faring town with disasters of 
this kind. With Christian serv'ices they buried many of the dead 
and if the tale could be written of those wounded and frost-bitten 
who were nursed and cared for in Cohasset homes and sent on 
their way rejoicing, it would make a long chapter. The following 
entries in Mr Willcutt's diary have been copied verbatim.

on the beach.

Further testimony to the heroism of Cohasset men is found in

reports of this Society are as follows.

Probably some other names in the Society's record belong to 

Cohasset, but those only are mentioned that can be identified. 
Some other awards are mentioned later in this chapter in connec- 
tion with the services rendered. 

About 1830 the schooner Rosebud (probably running as a packet 
between New York and Boston) was wrecked on Bassing Beach. 
The cargo was saved by Cohasset men, and the vessel is said to 
have been only slightly damaged. 

On April 12, 183 1 the schooner Boston was wrecked on Chest 
Ledge. The captain, named Webber had lashed himself to the 
mast and when the schooner struck he tried to get free to help 
save the vessel. Just as he became free he was washed over- 
board by a heavy sea and drowned. Owing to the prompt exer- 
tions of George W. Collier and others from the shore, all the crew 
were saved. Mr Collier saw the wreck from his liome (the old 
Collier house at North Scituate Beach). Hastening to Cohasset 
he collected a crew of seven men, who, carrying a boat across 
Bassing Beach, went to the rescue of the shipwrecked sailors. 
For this brave work the Mass. Humane Society gave gold medals 
to George W. Collier and seven others. Six of the others are said 
to be Capt. John Barker, John Lothrop, Lewis Willcutt, Samuel 
Stockbridge, Joseph Briggs and probably James Collier. Some are 
said to have received $10. in preference to the medal. 

At about 1840 the Swedish brig Copenhagen struck on the Sea 
Ledges, badly injuring her bottom. The rising tide and heavy 
sea drove her over the ledge, and she shortly after grounded on 
Brush Island. She was loaded with hemp and with Russian crash 
and duck, and Cohasset men were hard at work unloading her 
while people of all ages were busy along the shore "fishing up the 
crash. " The tale is told that when the bales of hemp were exam- 
ined by the Custom House officer and compared with the bill-of- 




e//Z(y/ur^ cy^'Zo^eo/ 



Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 593 

lading, only one bale was missing. It is said that later a Cohasset 
fisherman grappled and raised the last bale, and that the Custom 
House officials remarked: "How honest these Cohasset men are!" 

In the spring of 1843 the schooner Maine struck on the ledges 
near Pleasant Beach, and went to pieces. As she broke up, a 
large portion of the quarter-deck, with three men clinging to it, was 
carried by the sea close to the rock in the middle of Pleasant Beach. 
The men jumped upon the rock and were safe, and the next instant 
the wreckage glided out from under them and was dashed to 
kindling wood against the ledges on what is now the Kimball 
property. The vessel was loaded with shoes, and many of the 
people obtained a long supply of foot gear from the beaches. In 
November, 1843, the brig Melazo struck on East Shag rock and 
drifted to between Gull and Shepard's ledges. Her cargo of sugar 
in boxes was saved by Cohasset men, and the vessel was also 
saved. 

Perhaps the most notable work of wrecking by Cohasset men 
was in connection with the ship Alabama. On the night before 
Thanksgiving in 1847 ^^e struck on Minots Ledge where the light- 
house was later erected, and drifted about two miles to the east- 
ward, where she sank in ninety feet of water. Her topgallant 
masts are said to have been visible above the water, but in the 
following February they disappeared as the vessel broke open. 
Some of the cabin fittings came ashore at White Head. Capt. 
George Hall is said to have re-discovered the locality of the wreck 
by noticing a peculiar yellow appearance in the water. The 
Alabama was a large ship for those days, and had sailed from 
Liverpool for Boston with a very valuable assorted cargo, con- 
sisting of china and crockery ware, tools, cutlery, railroad iron, 
chains of various kinds and sizes, and carpets, shawls, and other 
fabrics. 

In early summer a number of Cohasset men under the lead of 
Capt. Nichols Tower, who was Underwriter's Agent and wrecking 
master, formed a company and made elaborate preparations to 
save the cargo. They secured the schooner Anaconda and had a 
particular form of tongs made at the blacksmith shop of Mr. 
Prentiss at the Cove (in the building later used for a store by 
Mr. Caleb F. Nichols). The wreck was too deep for work by 



594 History of Cohasset. 

diving operations, but a diver in a suit was sent down to recon- 
noitre. He found the vessel broken open and some crockery 
dishes strewn upon the bottom. By means of the tongs, crates of 
crockery ware could be caught and brought to the surface with 
their contents uninjured. Cutlery and chains were found packed 
in casks. Tools of various kinds were secured in abundance, and 
all the carpenters in town were provided with fine new saws. A 
curious and almost incredible statement is made that polished 
tools and cudery exposed to the action of salt water at that depth 
did not rust, because away from the air, but that they would 
immediately begin to rust as soon as laid upon the deck. Many 
families were supplied with crockery; and plates, bowls, and tea- 
pots from the Alabama can be found in Cohasset to-day. The 
ladies secured some of the shawls, but on wearing them some 
mischievous boy was apt to cry out: ^'Alabama!" and their popu- 
larity as an outside wrap suddenly declined. 

The tongs used were of several patterns and sizes, and varied in 
length from two to eight feet. They had strong, sharp jaws, and 
were so constructed that their weight kept them open. A special 
line or chain closed the jaws when desired, and they could then be 
drawn up with their prize. The tongs were also used for breaking 
apart portions of the wreck to get at the cargo. The Cohasset 
men worked upon this wreck for three summers, securing a very 
valuable amount of merchandise. The whole undertaking is one 
of great enterprise and skill and must have been difficult from 
the great depth of the water. The locality was knowTi to fisher- 
men as the "Alabama ground" for many years. 

On Feb. 5, 1849, at 4 a.m., in a driving northeast snowstorm, 
the ship Jennie Lind, loaded with cotton, was wrecked on North 
Scituate Beach, abreast of the old Collier house. To show the 
great trials of some of these navigators, the captain of this ship 
said that he "had been in Boston bay for nine days and had not in 
that time seen the sun, moon or stars." The crew were safely 
landed and the cotton unloaded, after which, by dint of great 
exertion for seventeen days and the use of oil-casks, the vessel was 
floated and saved. In all this work, as well as that on another 
cotton ship named Dublin, which was also saved, Cohasset men 
took the leading part, and the cotton was teamed to Cohasset, 



Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 595 

mostly with oxen, and shipped by the newly-opened South Shore 
Railroad. 

On October 3, 185 1, the bark Vesta, Captain Flynn (the ves- 
sel being only two years old), loaded with coal, struck the back 
of Gull Ledge, Cohasset men discharged the cargo, and she 
was brought in and beached on the point now owned by Mr. 
C. W. Barron. John Bates of Cohasset bought her, but she was 
later sold, and made some long voyages under Captain Percival, 
on one of which she had John L. Pratt, as second mate, and 
Daniel Bray Lincoln, Nathaniel W. Treat, and John Murphy, 
all of Cohasset, as seamen. Later she sailed under a foreign 
flag, and is said to have been still afloat near the end of the cen- 
tury. 

On April 8, 1852, the brig Marriel of Belfast, Me., Captain 
Staples, was wrecked on East Hogshead Ledge, and all hands 
were lost. Her spars came ashore on Sandy Beach, and the 
bodies of the crew were found inside Brush Island. She was 
loaded with turpentine and hides from Darien, Ga. 

On January 29, 1853, the bark Maryland, Captain Davis, 
was caught in a hurricane, and her crew could not reef topsails 
quickly enough to prevent their being torn to ribbons. She came 
alongside the light-ship, then stationed at Minots, and tried to 
anchor. Failing in this, she struck the north side of Gull Ledge, 
and drifted into Briggs Harbor, where she was beached. She 
had an assorted cargo from Baltimore, which was unloaded by 
Cohasset men, under Captain Daniel Lothrop. The cargo was 
carried by lighters to the inner side of White Head, whence it 
was conveyed to Boston by packets. The bark was successfully 
floated and repaired. 

On January 19, 1857, a very destructive storm wrecked two 
fine vessels upon our shore in one day. The first was the bark 
New Empire (briefly referred to in "Narrative History of Cohasset," 
p. 473). She was loaded with cotton, and wrecked about 300 
feet from White Head. The rescue of her crew is notable for 
ingenuity and bravery. The sea was covered with broken and 
treacherous ice, of the kind known as "porridge," making it 
impracticable to use a boat and unsafe to attempt to walk upon 
it. A Cohasset man, named Peter Falcon, walked to the wreck 



596 History of Cohasset. 

by stepping upon two oblong rubber life-preservers, which he 
moved forward alternately as he proceeded over the broken ice. 
In this way he brought a sounding line to the shore, by means 
of which fimally a hawser was carried across. A skiff was then 
pulled over the ice, and later a dory. Twelve men from the 
shore were thus drawn out to the wreck to haul the lines and 
render other assistance. The crew were all saved, including one 
with a broken leg and another with a dislocated shoulder. They 
were all taken to the house of John J. Lothrop, at Sandy Cove*. 
As the snow was very deep and the roads impassible, our life- 
savers next turned their attention to .rescuing Dr. Foster, who 
was trying to reach the injured men, but became buried in a 
snowdrift. They dug out his horse, and unhitching him from 
the shafts, drew the sleigh themselves for the last half mile. 

For the courageous work in rescuing the crew of the New 
Empire the Massachusetts Humane Society gave Peter Falcon a 
silver medal and $10, and a bronze medal to each of the following: 
Isaac Pratt, Henry Collier, Nathaniel W. Treat, Alexander Litch- 
field, M. B. Stetson, Loring Bates, and L. Jenkins. The New 
Empire was saved and re-fitted. 

It would seem that our Cohasset life-savers might well have 
been exhausted after this severe experience, but new- work 
awaited them, for the same evening the ship California had 
struck on Black Ledge and had pounded heavily during the 
night. Three men on board had taken refuge on the ledge, 
which is a quarter of a mile from shore. The California had 
parted chains and drifted from Gloucester, where she was dis- 
charging cargo, and the men on board were not the crew, but 
ship-keepers. As soon as morning light came to their aid, our 
Cohasset men must hurry to Kimball's point to save the three 
men who were in peril. The same "porridge" confronted them 
here, and they came hastily, even without lines to assist them. 
Quickly seizing a dory and being unable to walk on the field ice, 
a number of men, by sprawling on their hands and knees, were 

* In this house had been received in 1849 the survivors of the ill-fated ship 
Si. John. Later the house was for many years kept as a boarding-house and 
known as the " Lothrop House " or as " Mrs. Winslow's Cottage." Like the 
Warren Bates house, it furnished the first introduction to Cohasset for many of 
our present summer residents.

able to push and pull the dory to the ledge. They then assisted 
the three men into the boat and attempted to return to the shore 
in the same manner. When hardly more than 100 feet from the 
ledge, the dory settled through the ice so badly that the men 
could no longer move her. 

In the meantime a skiff, manned by Nathaniel W. Treat, 
Thomas Tower, and a Mr. Leighton had been pushed out from 
Kimball's Point to within 50 feet of the dory, and had passed a 
line to the latter. The skiff formed a foothold from which to 
pull upon the dory. While this was in progress, men on the shore 
had laid hold of a pile of spruce floor boards which had come 
ashore from the deck-load of some schooner, and by stretching 
these upon the ice, men were able to walk out upon them, carry- 
ing the rope of the fire-engine which had been hastily brought 
from the village. Time had been precious, for the field ice was 
already moving down the shore with the outgoing tide, but two 
hundred willing hands on the beach soon drew both boats ashore 
with their living freight. The frost-bitten men were cared for 
at the house of Mr. Peter C. Kimball. That Cohasset men 
could save every life exposed in the wrecks of these two vessels, 
in zero weather, testifies to their pluck and bravery. Dr. Foster's 
sleigh was again pulled by men to the relief of these frost bitten 
seamen : this time being drawn over the ice, across Little Harbor. 
The cold was so extreme at this time that no salt water was 
visible from the highest rocks, and the lightship anchored two 
miles or more to the northeast of Minots Ledge was completely 
surrounded with ice. 

For services in saving men on the California the Massachusetts 
Humane Society gave "certificates" to Peter C. Kimball and 
Patrick Sullivan, and $2 each to the following: Aaron Pratt, 
Manuel Antoine, Loring Bates, Nathaniel W. Treat, Charles 
Studley, Warren Bates, Cornelius Lincoln, Frederick Tower, 
Frank Antoine, Samuel Groce, Joseph Chadboum, Frederick 
Torrey, David Stoddard, Lincoln Jenkins, James Edwards, 
James Pettee, William Doane, and John Powers. 

These grim perils were not without their pleasantries, for as 
soon as the lives were saved, some attention must be paid to the 
cargo. As this ship was loaded with gin and sugar it was con-

sidered by some to be very attractive. Peter Falcon, the sure- 
footed, was returning from the ledge with a gallon bottle of gin 
under his arm, when one foot slumped through the ice and crack 
went his bottle, saving only a pint in the bottom. How to get 
this pint safely ashore was the problem — one which he solved 
by promptly drinking it. Some men who did not break their 
bottles didn't get home at all that night. The next day the town 
turned out to save the sugar, and brought it home in tubs, kegs, 
bags, pillow cases, and even stocking legs. They had enough to 
sweeten them for a long time. 

On April 15, 1857, the bark Nueces, from Galveston, for 
Boston, with a cargo of cotton, hides, and pecan nuts, came into 
the bay during a snowstorm, and made the Minot Ledge light- 
ship. The captain, supposing it to be Thatcher's Island lights, 
shaped his course accordingly for Boston Light, which course 
carried him to the south of Black Rocks. Seeing his mistake, he 
came to anchor, but the anchor not holding, he cut away his- 
masts and the bark slowly kedged in upon the shore about 
the center of Green Hill. The crew, with three lady passengers, 
were landed safely with the help of the townspeople. Part of the 
cargo was saved by rolling it over Green Hill, and the remainder 
was loaded upon lighters. Capt. Joseph H. Smith of Cohasset 
discharged the cargo by contract. After about two weeks the bark 
was floated with the aid of the steamer R. B. Forbes, and taken to 
Boston for repairs. It was in rescuing this crew that Captain 
Frederick Tower of Cohasset nearly lost his life. Fastening a 
rope about his waist he plunged into the surf and carried it to 
the bark, but in doing so, narrowly escaped being crushed 
between the vessel's side and a huge boulder. This boulder 
remains by Green Hill now and is said to have been pushed to 
its present position by the vessel. A hawser was then drawn 
across and made fast at the top of Green Hill. Passengers and 
crew were then saved by lashing each into an arm-chair, and 
drawing it along the hawser to the top of the hill. 

On Jan. 6, 1858 the ship Serampur struck a ledge off Pleasanf 
Beach. The crew were saved in a lifeboat. The cargo was an 
assorted one from New Orleans, consisting of flour, whiskey, syrup, 
hides, and lead. The flour came handy for many of the towns- 



Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 599 

people, especially as the underwriters valued it at only $4 a 
barrel, although flour was then selling for $8. A citizen could 
buy a barrel he had saved by payment of $2. There are rumors 
of barrels of whiskey being carefully buried in the beaches for 
future use. The eagle which for many years has ornamented 
the front of Independence fire-engine house came from the stem 
of the Serampur. 

On January 28, 1859, the ship Roebuck, commanded by Cap- 
tain Soule of Hingham, loaded with cotton from New Orleans 
was wrecked on the "West Willies." She lay there a week, and 
while being unloaded, a storm came and broke her to pieces. 
Many bales of her cotton were chewed up as she ground 
on the ledges, so that all the neighboring shores were covered 
with white cotton, washed up like seaweed. Many sunken bales 
were raised by grapples, and about 100 bales came ashore whole. 
All (even the loose cotton) was disposed of at good salvage (40 
per cent). 

On March 3, 1862, the brig Lincoln of Chelsea (only two years 
old) struck alongside the lighthouse at 4 a.m., and split in two. 
She was loaded with 240 tons of coal from Hoboken. Cohasset 
men recovered the coal from the sea bottom. As she split open 
her American ensign floated out upon the water. One of the 
wrecking party tried to grasp it, but remarked that it would be 
recovered later. Singularly, after four weeks it was found in 
Sandy Cove. On the same night the brig Marcia, also coal- 
laden, went ashore back of the Glades House, and another brig 
was wrecked at Cedar Point, Scituate. All three of these ves- 
sels were consigned to one firm, and all were wrecked within a 
space of three hours. 

On January 16, 1865, the brig Dawn of Day, of St. John, N. B., 
from Turk's Island, loaded with salt, struck first on Shepard's 
Ledge, and later on the big rock in the middle of Sandy Cove, 
and rapidly went to pieces, but the crew were saved. 

In 1868 the steamer Tripoli, in a thick fog, ran upon the "East 
Willies," and her bow became wedged in the rocks. With the 
rising tide and with assistance of tugs she backed off and 
proceeded. 

On March 2, 1868, the schooner Nathaniel G. Clark, loaded 



6oo History of Cohasset. 

with cotton, hides, and rosin, from Charleston, S. C, anchored 
outside the light in a northeast gale and snowstorm, and slipping 
her anchors, drifted inside the "West Willies," and later inside the 
Hazards, and struck on the rocks. She had a crew of five men 
and one passenger, a young boy. Singularly, the boy was the 
only one saved from the wreck. When the vessel struck, the 
boy, following the example of the crew, climbed into the rigging. 
Looking down, he saw an old sailor taking refuge in the bow, 
under the slight shelter known to mariners as the "top gallant 
forecastle." The boy reasoned that this aged man was experi- 
enced, and knew the safest place, so he climbed down and joined 
him. As the ship pounded on the rocks the sailors in the rigging 
were "slatted" off and drowned, while those in the bow were safe. 
The old man ventured out too soon, however, and met his death 
as a mighty wave boarded the vessel. The boy remained in his 
place of safety until rescued. The vessel was a total loss. 

On March 20, 1873, ^^e bark Josephine, loaded with hides 
and wool, was wrecked on North Scituate Beach. The crew 
were saved, but the vessel was a total loss. 

On March 12, 1878, the schooner Volante (a packet running 
between Eastport and Boston), loaded with herring and turnips, 
having anchored under the lee of Black Ledge, parted chains, 
and in a fresh north wind and snowstorm struck the rocks on 
Beach Island, about 200 feet west of the present breakwater. 
Her crew ran out on the bowsprit, jumped ashore, and took 
refuge in the cottage of Mr. Cutter. This happened at about 
the time of the celebrated "walking match," in the Town Hall 
and our Cohasset men, turning from one excitement to another, 
came down to unload the cargo. Those first arriving carried 
their goods to a convenient place on Beach Island and returned 
to the vessel for more, while another gang mysteriously loaded 
the booty upon a wagon and took it to Cohasset. The second 
gang had the easier time, and in the hurry and bustle were not 
discovered for some time. 

On August 29, 1886, the bark Joseph A. Ropes, with a valuable 
cargo from Zanzibar, Africa, went ashore in a thick fog on a bar 
about half a mile west of the Sea Ledges, but was only slightly 
damaged and was pulled ofiE in a day or two and proceeded to

Boston. This vessel was totally wrecked five years later on the 
shore of Madagascar. • 

I am indebted for the materials of almost all the foregoing 
account to Mr. Nathaniel W. Treat. Further information and 
suggestions have been obtained of Mr. Caleb F. Nichols, Mr. 
William E. Crocker, Mr. Henry H. Sylvester, Mr. George R. 
Howe, and Miss Joanna N. Collier. 

The violent storm of November 25 to 28, 1888, appears to 
have brought disaster along our shore to a greater number of 
vessels, whose names can be identified, than any other of which 
we have record. Between Scituate harbor and Boston, no less 
than fifteen vessels were wrecked. The storm was of unusual 
violence and duration, and the wind reached a velocity of 60 
miles an hour. The wrecks at Scituate were the schooner 
Edward H. Norton, with loss of fifteen lives, at the First Cliff, 
and the schooner /. and J. Locke, at the Sand Hills. At Cohasset 
the fishing schooner Stella Lee of Portland, Maine, 80 tons burden, 
came ashore at Bassing Beach, having been blown out of 
Gloucester Harbor by the violence of the wind. She was not 
injured and was floated in safety. 

The schooner Sasanoa, of and for Bath, in ballast, also parted 
her chains in Gloucester Harbor; her crew escaped to another 
vessel, and she came ashore at Pleasant Beach, and was landed 
high and dry. She was of 79 tons, built in 187 1, and remained 
on the beach for several years as a picturesque landmark until 
unfortunately set on fire and burned. The Sasanoa had a num- 
ber of times brought coal to Cohasset. 

The most melancholy disaster in our vicinity was that of the 
steam collier AUentoum, which undoubtedly foundered off Cohasset 
with all on board. Large quantities of her wreckage came ashore 
on all our beaches. The Allentown was built in Philadelphia, in 
1873. She was 250 feet long, and had capacity for 1650 tons of 
coal. She was owned by the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- 
road, and with her were lost eighteen lives. 

Although only the three wrecks just named occurred on the 
Cohasset shore, six vessels met disaster on the shore of Hull. 
Their names are as follows: Schooner H. C. Higginson, on rocks 
below Atlantic House; schooner M attic E. Eaton, on beach a short

distance north of the last; the abandoned British brigantine 
Alice, at Kenbema, and schooners Cox and Green, Gertrude Abbott, 
and Bertha F. Walker, off Hull, near Toddy Rocks. These six 
wrecks made strenuous work for the men of the Hull and North 
Scituate Life-saving Stations, and some Cohasset men added their 
services. (See "Narrative History of Cohasset," p. 482.) Twenty- 
eight lives were rescued from these wrecks in Hull. 

Besides the wrecks already mentioned, two vessels were driven 
ashore in Quincy, one at Spectacle Island, and one at Winthrop, 
by this storm, making, as stated, fifteen vessels between Scituate 
and Boston. It is a curious coincidence that the great gale of 
1898 occurred almost precisely ten years later than the one just 
described. On March 9, 1890, the schooner Lucy D. Windsor of 
Duxbury was capsized and sunk by a squall off Chest Ledge. 
The crew of six were found hanging to the bottoms of dories, and 
were saved by D. P. Sylvester and his son, Irving. For this act 
they received silver medals from the Mass. Humane Society. 

For an account of the wrecks in the 1898 gale see chapter in 
this volume, page 604. 

On Sunday afternoon, September 9, 1900, the steamer John 
Endicott, returning from Plymouth, struck a rock in the Gangway 
Passage inside Minots Light, and was beached on the bar con- 
necting Gull and Shepard's ledges. No lives were lost. Per- 
sistent attempts were made by wreckers to save the vessel, and 
she was for a time beached on the flats near White Head. Later 
she was sunk in 80 feet of water outside Boston Light while being 
towed to Boston. A further attempt to raise her was frustrated 
by a storm, and portions of the boat came ashore in Cohasset at 
Cuba Dam. She was an old boat, built in 1863, and originally 
named the Stamford. 

It will be noticed that the John Endicott constitutes the only 
wreck off Cohasset in the past ten years. This immunity is, no 
doubt due to the great increase in steam navigation and to the 
establishment of Boston Lightship, in 1894. The building of 
Minots light was a considerable aid to navigation, but it directed 
the course of vessels too near the dangerous Cohasset rocks, and 
ships passing around Minots in safety might still be driven upon 
the ledges by a violent " Northeaster." Boston Lightship, in the 



Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 603 

middle of the bay, with plenty of deep water all around, makes 
a far safer mark to steer for, and its powerful fog whistle is a 
much better signal in thick weather than the fog bell of the light- 
house. The new entrance to Boston Harbor, with its powerful 
first-order lighthouse at the Graves, will altogether change the 
course of the larger vessels as they pass Cohasset. All this makes 
for safety, and it may be, let us hope, that the painful series of 
wrecks on our shore will never be repeated. 

Enough has been recited to show the cruel nature of our rocks 
and ledges in time of storm, and also to prove the sturdy quality 
of our Cohasset men. Bom and reared by the sea, they know 
her moods and dare to breast her dangers. The fact that the 
vessel was saved and repaired in eleven out of twenty-six wrecks 
near Cohasset enumerated in this chapter, testifies to the aid 
rendered from the shore. Would that every "rock-bound coast" 
had as brave and noble a band of life-savers! 



THE GREAT GALE OF NOVEMBER 27, 1898, 
IN COHASSET. 

By OLIVER H. HOWE. 

The great storm of November 27, 1898, was by far the most 
destructive one that has visited this coast within the memory of 
man. A vast amount of damage was done along the New England 
coast and the steamer Portland was lost v/ith all on board. 

The only storm to be compared with it was the famous "Light- 
house Gale" of 185 1. A comparison of the height of tide in the 
two storms may be of interest. In the "old paint shop" on the 
wharf near Tower's store there is an old mark with the date 1851 
against it, showing the height of the tide in that great storm. 
Mr. Edwin Souther has made a mark in the same building for 
this storm 28| inches above the floor and 13 inches higher than 
the mark of 185 1. A mark of 185 1 in the old "salt- house" 
on the other side of the Cove has been leveled across and just 
reaches the sill of the fire-department hose-house at the head of the 
Cove. The water in the 1898 storm rose still higher and put out 
the fire in a stove in the hose-house, thus corroborating the marks 
previously mentioned,* 

To make a permanent record of the height of the tide in the 
1898 storm, the writer had levels taken by Mr. Daniel N. Tower, 
surveyor, and copper bolts inserted in the rock in three different 
places. The levels were taken from a mark in the boat-building 
shop of Arthur O. Higgins on Margin Street and from a mark made 
by the writer on the "old sail loft" on the afternoon of the storm. 
The large doors of Mr. Higgins' shop had been broken in by the 
sea, and the level of the water was accurately recorded by the fact 

* Careful surveys and comparisons show that the coast of Massachusetts is 
subsiding at the rate of about one foot in a century. As 47 years intervened 
between these two storms, the difference of 13 inches may be, in part, accounted 
for. Making proper deduction for subsidence, the tide in the 1898 gale would 
be seven and three eighths inches higher than in its predecessor. For interesting 
proofs of subsidence at many points along the shore, see Mass. Report of the 
Committee on Charles River Dam (1903) pp. 529-572.

that a quantity of varnish floated on the water in the shop and 
left its mark everywhere. The copper bolts were inserted in the 
following places: i. In a ledge on Border Street near the "Village 
Guildhall" and nearly opposite the fire-hose houses; 2. On 
Border Street a short distance beyond the house of James Brennock; 
3. In the vertical escarpment of the rock of " Government Island" 
next the "Gulf Stream." The latter locality is within the tide 
gate, but the level mentioned is intended to represent the level of 
the tide in Cohasset harbor. 

On account of the development of our shore, there was in 1898 
much more property to be injured. The two causes of injury were 
the terrible gale and the very high tide. The force of the wind was 
shown by the great number of trees prostrated. All the woodland, 
even that situated several miles from the shore, suffered severely. 
Many pieces of pine woodland had half the trees uprooted. A 
few trees had their trunks snapped off midway. The sawmills 
and some portable miUs in Norwell were kept very busy during 
the winter and spring in disposing of fallen trees and were then 
unable to work them all up. The uprooting of trees was facili- 
tated by the facts that there was no frost in the ground at the 
time and that the fohage of the pines was loaded with snow. 

Another evidence of the extreme force of the wind was the fact 
that many weather vanes were carried away or broken. In some 
cases the iron rod supporting the vane was bent at an angle by the 
wind. Maximum velocity of wind in Boston, 72 miles an hour. 

The streets of the town were all impassable because of snow and 
of branches of trees and whole trees blown done across them to 
an extent never before seen by the writer. The electric-light poles 
and wires were sadly disarranged. Many poles were prostrated 
and the wires were in many instances hanging low or trailing on 
the ground. The snow had frozen on the wires, making them 
two or three inches in diameter, and their great weight when thus 
encumbered led to a large share of their disaster. 

A very noticeable feature of the storm was its sudden onset and 
short duration. The afternoon of the 26th (Saturday) was 
cloudy and somewhat chilly, but not otherwise unpleasant. At 
6 P.M. the writer rode a bicycle from Gannett's Corner to Cohasset 
and was not troubled by wind or any other circumstance. Later 



6o6 History of Cohasset. 

in the evening it began to snow. At lo p.m. two young men rode 
their bicycles from Warren Bates' boarding house beyond Steep 
Rocks on Jerusalem Road to their home by Cohasset Common. 
They said the wind was becoming severe and there were about two 
inches of slush on the ground, but they were able to ride their 
wheels. Between then and midnight the storm broke out in all 
its fury, and houses in the village were shaken and rocked to an 
unusual degree. High tide occurred at 10.40 a.m. and the main 
violence and damage of the storm took place before noon on 
Sunday. It will be seen that the main fury of the storm was 
confined to a little more than twelve hours — a marked contrast 
to its predecessor, the Lighthouse storm, which gathered its 
fury during three days of violent east wind. In our 1898 storm 
it was feared by many that the night tide would rise still higher 
and greatly increase the damage, but such did not prove to be the 
case. The 1898 storm differed from its predecessor in not occur- 
ring at high-course tides. The high level to which the water rose 
was probably due to the force of the east wind in driving the water 
in. The barometer in the 1898 gale was extremely low, 28.7. 
The greatest damage to houses along the shore occurred at the Sand 
Hills in Scituate, at Nantasket Beach and the vicinity of Gun 
Rock, and at North Scituate Beach. Cohasset summer cottages 
were too well founded to receive much damage. The injury 
to beaches and shore roads in Cohasset was considerable, and a 
somewhat systematic account of the damage done on the Cohasset 
shore may be of interest. 

Beginning near the easterly part of our shore, the most perma- 
nent damage was done to Bassing Beach. For many years past 
this beach has been used by a number of Cohasset men for the 
purpose of bleaching and drying Irish moss. For the men thus 
engaged, mossing has furnished a continuous occupation for the 
summer. The beach before the storm had upon it twenty-two 
small buildings, most of them being used for the storing of moss, 
but several served for temporary dwellings of the mossers and two 
were used as gunning shanties. The storm moved or demolished 
all these buildings but one, and lowered the beach a good deal, 
making it less suitable for mossing purposes. The buildings and 
their debris were stranded along the southerly side of Bailey's

Creek, one or two being carried nearly to Border Street. Fortu- 
nately all the mossers but two had sold their moss earlier in the 
fall, so most of the buildings were empty. Two men, Cornelius 
Murphy and Thomas Dunn, were staying at their shanties on the 
beach. As the tide rose and surrounded the buildings, each took 
refuge upon the roof and was carried some distance in that manner. 
One jumped into a boat which was drifting by and thus reached 
the shore. The other leaped upon a rock in midstream and was 
rescued by a man from the shore in a boat. No loss of life occurred 
in Cohasset on account of this storm and no bodies floated ashore. 
In Scituate, at the Sand HiUs, a woman was drowned while 
attempting to escape from a cottage, and four young men camping 
upon an island in North River were drowned. At the culvert on 
Border Street beyond Government Island the railings on both sides 
of the street were carried away by floating debris, and the water 
was about six feet deep over the road. The railings between Gulf 
bridge and Tower's wharf were also carried away. Tower 
Brothers' lumber wharf suffered great damage, the lumber stored on 
their various wharves being floated off, strewn upon Border Street, 
lodged at different places about Cohasset harbor, and some of it 
carried under the Gulf bridge and stranded at different points up 
Gulf River; some of these points being quite distant. 

All of Border St. west of Gulf bridge was under water and was 
made impassable for horses by being thickly strewn with lumber, 
fence posts, and other debris, which was in places piled three feet 
high. Several boats, including one sail-boat, were left in the middle 
of the road. The level of the water against Tower's building, 
known as the "old sail loft," was 33 J inches above the street. 
The high-water line on this and other buildings is beautifully 
shown on the accompanying photograph which was taken from a 
point looking east. The buildings, beginning at the left hand, are: 
the old sail loft. Tower Brothers' store. Tower Brothers' coal shed. 
Beyond the latter is seen the wreck of the schooner Daylight, to be 
referred to later. The foundations of the old sail loft were laid in 
the form of a mainsail, so that sails of that shape could be con- 
veniently laid out upon the floor. 

The driveways and open spaces on the wharves were in similar 
condition to the street, and the buildings and wharves were some- 



6o8 History of Cohasset. 

what damaged. The greater part of Snow Place was under water. 
Also South Main St. near the Catholic Church, the water over the 
road in the latter locality being too deep for high rubber boots. 
The well of Capt. Henry Collier became salt and was unfit for use 
for a number of weeks. Part of Summer St. between Snow Place 
and the Cove was under water. The triangular common at the 
Cove was all under water, as well as all the streets bordering the 
Cove; all of Margin St. except the hill near its beginning; all of 
Stockbridge St, except the hill near its further end and all the 
easterly part of Atlantic Ave. In Tilden's blacksmith shop the 
water was i6 inches deep over the floor. It was up to the upper 
surfaces of the window sills of the small house at the corner of 
Stockbridge and Margin Sts., level with the sills of Walter Spear'3 
house on Stockbridge St. At the head of the Cove the water 
after rising to the level of the road fell in a cascade into the 
meadow beyond, destroying sidewalk, retaining wall, and adjacent 
platforms. 

The piling supporting Caleb F. Nichols' store was somewhat 
damaged and the water rose to the window sills of the building. 
Mr. Nichols' stock of groceries was not injured at all, owing to his 
prudent custom of keeping all goods above the level of the counter. 
At high tide men were traversing the streets about the Cove in 
rowboats. Many small yachts had been laid up for the winter 
about the shores of the Cove, some, like the Zulu owned by Mr. 
William Hanlon, being securely lodged in the meadow adjoining 
Margin St. All these boats, and others anchored in the Cove, 
were set adrift and, by colliding with each other and with the shore, 
suffered serious injury and were landed in very strange places. 
The Zulu, a large sloop, was left close against the highway between 
the hook and ladder house and near Caleb F. Nichols' store. This 
boat was not injured, however. 

The Daylight, a schooner of 10.25 gross tonnage, owned by 
Joseph Jason and used by him in taking out pleasure parties, was 
anchored in the Cove, but was beached by the storm at the landing 
just beyond Tower Brothers' coal shed. She had some holes stove 
in her besides being otherwise damaged and was carried partly into 
the highway. She was considered a complete wreck, was stripped 
of her rigging and her hull was sawed up for firewood, April 7, 



The Great Gale of November 2y, i8g8, in Cohasset. 609 

1899. The condition of her planking and timbers when taken 
apart showed that she went out of service none too soon for safety. 
She was built in Bristol, R.I., in 1877. 

The water poured through the depression between Atlantic Ave. 
and Stockbridge St., making an island of all beyond. It also 
isolated the Lawrence Barrett house, occupied by Mr. C. W. 
Barron. In Mr. Barron's stable it rose so high about the horses' 
legs that they had to be removed to a place of safety. 

Beyond Bourne's corner the water was level with the tops of the 
stone walls, and beyond the next corner on Margin St. it floated off 
long sections of the wooden capping from the walls. In James 
Sweeney's house at the Cove a large stick of timber passed into a 
front basement window and passed out through a rear one. The 
family were taken out of the upper windows and rescued in a boat. 

At Sandy Cove the water was very high, reaching far inland, 
around and between the cottages. It covered Atlantic Ave. quite 
deeply in front of Nathaniel W. Treat's house and near Mr. Fox's 
driveway. The seas began to break over the Sandy Cove beach and 
into the meadow as early as 7.30 a.m., which was three hours before 
high tide. The water was level with the floor of Rev. James Reed's 
piazza. 

In the Mohawk Valley it poured across the highway, washing 
away the sides of the road. Roads of this kind are injured in these 
storms by a double cascade action, being cut down on the landward 
side while the water is rising. When the tide turns the cascade is 
in the other direction, cutting down the seaward side and leaving 
a narrow strip of the road intact in the middle. If the cascade 
action is sufficiently prolonged, this strip will also disappear, making 
a complete breach several feet in depth. On Beach St. the tin roof 
of the L of Mr. James H. Nichols' house was torn off and thrown 
like a baUoon across the street. 

At Cunningham's bridge the water was over the road on both 
sides of the bridge and covered quite an area of the lawn of Mr. B. 
Preston Clark with driftwood. One of the most thrilling events of 
the storm was the wreck of the fishing schooner Juniata at the 
breakwater, Beach Island, and the miraculous escape of her crew. 
This vessel had left the " Georges" fishing grounds and was return- 
ing to Boston, hastening somewhat to escape the threatening storm. 



6io History of Cohasset. 

She was overtaken by the full violence of the gale in the middle of 
the bay and one sail after another torn to ribbons. She then 
anchored, but her chains parted under the fearful violence of the 
sea. Her captain then headed south, hoping to find calmer water in 
the lee of the ledges. The captain and 17 men all had to take 
refuge in the rigging. The vessel, after striking on some outlying 
rocks and later grazing Brush Island, struck plump broadside 
against the wooden breakwater on Beach Island. The men were 
able to step off upon the breakwater, but the captain was knocked 
off the breakwater into the water and was saved only by his vigorous 
swimming. All were saved and effecting an entrance into 
Mr. Nicholas Sheldon's cottage nearby, made a fire and got the 
first warmth and comfort they had had for many hours. The 
vessel struck the breakwater at about 4.30 a.m., which was the hour 
of low tide. The facts that she drew 10 feet of water and that she 
landed on rocks which are perfectly bare at low tide confirm the 
opinion of Cohasset mariners that during that night the tide did- 
not ebb at all but kept coming in higher and higher under the force 
of the wind. As the tide rose, the seas lifted the Juniata clean over 
the breakwater and landed her high up on the beach and close to 
Mr. Sheldon's piazza. The vessel was of beautiful model, only 
six months old, 78 tons, 100 ft. over all, 23 ft. beam, and 10 ft. hold. 
Her captain was Robert M. Corey, who owned one-quarter of her. 
A full account of the vessel and wreck was written by Rev. E. Victor 
Bigelow and published in the Boston Herald (evening edition) 
November 28, 1898. The writer is indebted to this account for the 
foregoing facts. The accompanying photograph shows the wreck 
of the Juniata. 

The Juniata was sold at public auction early in December to a 
Mr. Burke of Scituate for $680. A building mover was employed 
to raise her out of the sand and move her to the lower part of the 
beach, after which, at 12 noon on Feb. 25, 1899, she was success- 
fully launched into the breakwater, triumphantly passed out 
through the opening and, in tow of a tug, was taken to Gloucester 
to be repaired and refitted. 

The escape of this vessel and crew is a very marvelous event. 
Had the vessel struck one hundred feet to one side or the other 
from the breakwater she would have encountered savage rocks 



The Great Gale of November 2y, i8g8, in Cohasset. 6ii 

and been dashed to pieces. The breakwater was as safe as a 
wharf, but it suffered much damage itself and had most of its 
planking removed from the portion where the vessel struck it. 

The sea swept savagely across Sandy Beach, washing away a 
portion of the highway, especially upon the back side, and cover- 
ing other portions of the road with three or four feet of beach 
pebbles. The pranks played with the bath-houses are somewhat 
interesting. All the latter that were fastened down were either 
demolished beyond recovery or had their front and back walls 
completely smashed and were then partly buried in beach stones. 
Those bath-houses that were not fastened down floated for very 
considerable distances, often with little or no injury. Many 
of them reposed among the shrubbery along the shores of Little 
Harbor or were left insecurely perched like erratic bowlders upon 
projecting ledges of the shore, while a few reached the garden of 
Mr. Charles S. Bates near the head of the Common, being landed 
high up, within a few rods of North Main St. 

Passing over the bluff occupied by the Kimball property and 
down the slight hill to the beach, we found the beautiful macadam- 
ized road and its high retaining wall on the south side reduced to a 
state of chaos. The sea had made wide breaches through it, 
washing it out to the depth of five or six feet, and we found only 
irregular hillocks of gravel and wastes of beach stones, impassable 
for all except pedestrians. The Massachusetts Humane Society's 
boat-house and the old boat-house adjoining it were both canted 
down from their supports. The new barn and boat-storage house of 
Mr. Matthew Luce was also undermined and canted. Mr. Luce's 
club-house, which stands in an exposed situation on the beach, was 
uninjured, probably owing to its being raised up on posts, with 
good opportunity for the sea to sweep underneath it. The small 
one-story house that had for many years stood high up on the beach 
was moved from its location, turned half-way round, and had 
some of its walls demolished. It was a complete wreck and was 
soon taken down. 

The house formerly occupied by the late John Roche, which 
stood upon the southerly side of Atlantic Avenue, was standing 
during the Lighthouse storm. It was in this house that Mrs. 
Peter Kimball took refuge during that storm, and she was removed 



6 12 History of Cohasset. 

from it in a boat, as the water rose high about it. Although 
uninjured in that storm it was not so fortunate in this one, as it 
was moved about fifteen feet off its foundation and turned partly 
round. Mr. Aldrich, who was in his cottage at the time, said that 
the Roche house was moved round a number of times and that he 
could one minute see the front door and the next minute could not. 
The water rose in the house a foot higher than the window-sills 
and reached a point 4 ft. 8 in. above the ground. An outbuilding 
measuring 10 ft. by 14 ft. and used as a woodshed and hen-house 
was carried by the water to Cat Dam. The Roche house was 
torn down about the middle of May, 1899. Thus perished an old 
landmark of the shore and the former abode of two very estimable 
people. Its foundation stones have been gathered into a cairn 
upon which nasturtiums gracefully climb. 

The highway in the vicinity of the Roche house was covered by 
a bank of sand about five feet deep. At Pleasant Beach we saw 
abundant signs of the storm's havoc with the shipping, for the 
beach presented the appearance of a large lumber yard. Ship 
timbers of all sizes were strewn in profusion, most of them being 
of clean hard pine, showing that fine new vessels were unable 
to cope with the storm's fury. These big sticks were soon appro- 
priated by our citizens, and some of them were used to build a 
breakwater at Pleasant Beach. The volume of water and wreck- 
age pouring over Cat Dam broke down both railings and damaged 
the road. The causeway near Steep Rocks had the tide to the 
tops of the fences, and it reached the level of the sill of the house 
owned by Mr. Edward Wheelwright, and occupied by his coach- 
man, James Sweeney, at the foot of Steep Rocks. 

Piazzas of the cottages of Hon. H. H. Coolidge and William 
Faxon, Jr., were destroyed. A chimney was blown over on the 
house of Matthew Luce, and the cottage of G. D. Braraan had its 
tin roof blown off. The stable of the Pitkin cottage was under- 
mined and canted down toward the sea. A small stone building 
on the small valley beach near the Black Rock House had its roof 
partly detached by force of wind and wave. The rear piazzas of 
the Black Rock House were damaged. 

The beach extending from Jerusalem Road to Green Hill 
suffered a breach of about 75 feet in width. It was covered with 



The Great Gale of November ^7, i8g8, in CohasseL 613 

all kinds of wreckage and encumbered with the masts, keel, and 
several large portions of the hull of a coal barge that was wrecked 
on Black Rock. One of the masts now forms the lower section 
of Mr. Thomas W. Lawson's flagstaff at the John Bryant place. 
This coal barge, after striking on Black Rock, careened, so that 
the mast rested on the island. The crew climbed to the island 
by following the mast and were brought ashore by the Hull Life- 
Saving Crew. Many coal barges are said to have foundered 
in Massachusetts Bay during this storm, and the masts of two 
unknown schooners were found sticking up near the entrance of 
Cohasset harbor. 

A great deal of wreckage was swept into Straits Pond, covering 
the ice for large areas, and lodged along its shores. A small one- 
story building was carried to the further end of Straits Pond and 
remained standing in the water near Nantasket post office for 
some time until it was burned. 

All our beaches were made more steep, much of the material 
being carried over to the back side, leaving the beaches less able 
to cope with future storms and less able to protect the roads they 
bear. Undoubtedly the storms of a century have robbed Cohasset 
of some land area. Mr. James Pettee informed me that many 
years ago he cultivated a good-sized vegetable garden back of the 
Black Rock House, between it and the sea. He also said that on 
the northerly side of Jerusalem Road, between the Black Rock 
House and the beach leading to Green Hill, there was a field which 
produced hay and which was large enough for a hay wagon to turn 
round upon without difficulty. The condition of the latter place is 
now such that one more great storm might easily destroy a portion 
of the highway. (These references to the Black Rock House relate 
to the old hotel which formerly stood close to Jerusalem Road a 
little east of its intersection with Forest Ave.) 

The winter of 1898-9 was also remarkable for a great snow 
storm. Snow had been falling pretty steadily for two days, when, 
on the 13th of February, the storm redoubled in fury and the rate 
of snowfall greatly increased. The result when the sky cleared 
on the morning of the 14th was that every road in town was blocked; 
so much so that all the streets in the center of the town had to be 
shoveled out by hand. Three places in town showed by measure- 



6i4 History of Cohasset. 

ment drifts eight feet deep, viz.: Sohier's hill, Sohier St. near top 
of Deer Hill, and Jerusalem Road near Mr. Wadleigh's cottage. 
It was nearly noon on Feb. 15, thirty-six hours after the storm 
cleared off, before a sleigh could pass from Depot Court to the 
North End at junction of Jerusalem Road. The railroad was 
impassable from Monday noon until 7 p.m. Tuesday. The snow 
was so deep on a level that a man residing by Cohasset Common 
tried to drive out in his sleigh, but in attempting to cross the 
Common, back of the Unitarian Church, got so badly stuck that 
he had to back out and return home. The oldest residents said 
they had never seen the roads more encumbered with snow, and 
the great storm of 1867 is probably the only recent one with which 
this of February, 1899, could be compared. The beach leading to 
Green Hill was covered with ice five to eight feet in thickness. 
This fact together with the frozen condition of the beach itself 
undoubtedly prevented further ravages by the sea. 

The winter of 1903-4 was notable for its long term of continue 
ous sleighing. It began to snow on the day after Christmas, and 
it was good sleighing on all the roads until Town Meeting Day 
(March 7), a period of ten weeks. Such winters are now com- 
mon in the inland and northern portions of New England, and 
are said to have been common here in ''old times," but it seems 
that the one just mentioned is the only one of the kind experi- 
enced in Cohasset for thirty or forty years. 



A SHORT HISTORY OF ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH. 

By rev. HOWARD KEY BARTOW. 

The parish of St. Stephen's began with the first service held in 
The Grand Army Hall June 4, 1893. From this venture there 
have resulted the thriving congregation and the gothic stone church 
which crowns the rocks in the center of the town. 

The first rector, or as he preferred to be called, preacher, was the 
Rev. Charles Ferguson, who assumed charge of the parish 
April 26, i893,and after two years he was succeeded in 1895, 
by the Rev. J. B. Thomas who ministered to the parish until 
1898. A short period, less than a year, elapsed between his leaving 
and the calling of a new rector. This time was covered by the 
Rev. James Woods, who acted as locum fenens until the arrival 
of the Rev. Milo H. Gates, who resigned the parish at Ipswich to 
become rector June i, 1898. The active history of the parish 
begins with Mr. Gates, for through his efforts the parish life was 
centered in the beautitul gothic church, with its modern parish 
house. 

The corner stone was laid by Bishop Lawrence, Friday, 
December 8, 1899, in the presence of the rector, vestry, visiting 
clergy, and townspeople. Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson of Boston, 
were the architects. Following the perpendicular gothic style, they 
created a dignified, stately edifice, and their design was splendidly 
carried out by the contractors, L. D. Willcutt & Son. The work- 
men were almost all Cohasset men. The church was consecrated 
in June, 1900, by Bishop Lawrence, with the tower of the church 
uncompleted. 

Mr. Gates left Cohasset January i, 1904, to assume the rector- 
ship of a New York City church, after he had completed the 
building of the parish house, which was a memorial gift, and he was 
succeeded by the Rev. H. K. Bartow, the present rector, February 
14, 1904. The tower of the church was begun January, 1906, and 
dedicated by the bishop September 30, 1906. This, like the 
church building proper, was the result of general subscription 
among the congregation. 

The seven memorial stained glass windows in the church are the

6i6 History of Cohasset. 

work of Mr. Harry E. Goodhue of Cambridge, and were given 
in memory of various persons, — a vestryman, a choir boy, one of 
the laborers on the church, and relatives of members of the 
congregation. 

Several gifts made to the church are of interest as being historical. 
The alms bason the gift of Mrs. Thomas Richardson, is very 
old and came from Italy; the shaft of the baptismal font was 
given through Mr. Gates, by the rector, the Rev. A. C. W. Upcher, 
and parish of St. Andrew's Church, Hingham, England, and was 
the original font of that ancient parish. It is badly marred, and is 
supposed to have been broken by the soldiers of Cromwell when 
so many churches in England were despoiled. The font has 
been restored practically as it was originally. The ancestors of 
Abraham Lincoln, as well as of all the early settlers of this town 
and Hingham, were baptized in the font of which this shaft was a 
part. The corner stone of the church was the doorstep of the old 
center schoolhouse, which afterwards became the Grand Army 
Hall, where the first services of this church were held. This door- 
step was used for those associations and because the grandfather 
of the contractor, Mr. L. D. Willcutt, labored on the construction 
of the original building. The two alms boxes, on either side of 
the entrance under the tower, are both very old. That on the left 
was an original alms box and came from Nuremberg; the other 
has been converted to the present use from an old "strong" box 
brought from the Continent, and is the gift of Mr. E. B. Townsend.

THE POPE MEMORIAL CHURCH. 

By REV. CECIL HARPER. 

The Pope Memorial Church was built in 1890 as a memorial 
to Charles Linder Pope, who died April 21, 1898, in the seven- 
teenth year of his. age. 

The church, erected by his parents Colonel and Mrs. Albert A. 
Pope, is situated at the opening of Jerusalem Road, near West's 
Corner, fronted by a broad lawn and looking up Strait's Pond 
toward the Black Rock. It is built in gothic style, of seam-faced 
Quincy granite, trimmed with gray, and roofed with red tile. It 
has a large open tower, containing a rich tenor bell. The seating 
capacity of the church is about two hundred and forty, and of 
the vestry sixty. The walls are tinted green, and the ceiling a 
cream, with exposed rafters. The church contains a finely 
voiced pipe organ. Music is made a feature of the service, and 
many distinguished vocalists are heard each year. 

The church is undenominational, and has no creed. Its 
mission is to deepen the spirit of universal brotherhood, and 
over the organ in letters of gold is inscribed the text 

"Love to God: Love to Man." 

It is attended by persons of all denominations — in the summer 
by cottagers and guests at the various hotels; in the winter by 
the permanent residents. 

.The pastor. Rev. Cecil Harper, has been in charge from the 
beginning. There is a prosperous Sunday school connected 
with the church. It is supported by voluntary contributions 
and by an annual fair.

THE PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY. 

By rev. WILLIAM R. COLE. 

In the Narrative History of Cohasset, by the Rev. E. Victor 
Bigelow, there is to be found (pp. 518 to 522) the story of how the 
library began as an institution and its development into a public 
library of the town, in the year 1879, as the Cohasset Free Public 
Library. Within twenty years from that date, it had become 
apparent that the quarters it occupied on the first floor of the Town 
Hall were inadequate and outgrown. Fortunately the need of the 
library and the hopes of its friends were answered by the bequest 
of Miss Harriot Eustis Pratt. 

Miss Harriot Eustis Pratt was the daughter of Paul Pratt, who 
was born in Cohasset May 17, 1788, and died in Cohasset August ' 
31, 1853. At his death he left a modest fortune to his daughters, 
Sarah S. and Harriot E., which, through wise management and 
shrewd investment by their trustees and the simple, careful living 
of the sisters, increased materially. The sisters had from the 
start been interested and active in the library work. Miss Sarah 
was one of the original trustees of the Cohasset Free Public Library 
and continued in that ofiice until her death in 1896. Miss Harriot 
died April 19, 1898, and her will, probated May 18, 1898, founded 
the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. Her will directed that one-half 
of her estate, not including certain real estate amounting to a little 
more than forty thousand dollars, should be paid over to the 
chairman of the Selectmen of Cohasset, to the pastor of the First 
Parish Church in Cohasset and to the pastor of the Second Con- 
gregational Church in Cohasset for the time being; and to Randolph 
Knapp and James Longley and to two others to be chosen by these 
five, who should constitute a board of trustees for the purpose of 
establishing and maintaining a public library in the town of 
Cohasset to be known as the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. The 
will also directed that the three officials should always be members, 
ex officio, of the Board of Trustees; that this board should make 
reasonable regulations for the establishment and maintenance of 

618 



The Paul Pratt Memorial Library. 619 

the library by incorporation or otherwise, and provide for the per- 
petual care thereof; and that the largest possible liberty and dis- 
cretion in the use of such hterary and social means as should tend 
to the accomphshment of the purpose of the bequest, be conferred 
upon them and their successors in the trust. Aside from the 
ex officio members any vacancy which arises in the board is to be 
filled by the vote of the remaining members. 

Owing to the claim of an adopted niece and consequent litiga- 
tion, there intervened a delay of nearly two years before the trustees 
could organize. 

The first meeting of the trustees of the Paul Pratt Memorial 
Library was held in the Selectmen's room in the Town Hall, Feb- 
ruary 3, 1900. In accordance with the authority granted to them. 
Philander Bates, chairman of the Selectmen of Cohasset, William 
R. Cole, pastor of the First Parish Church in Cohasset, E. Victor 
Bigelow, pastor of the Second Congregational Church in Cohasset, 
and James Longley of Boston, chose Samuel T. Snow of 
Cohasset in the place of Randolph Knapp, deceased, and these 
five chose Charles A. Welch and Abraham H. Tower, both of 
Cohasset. 

The board organized with the following officers: President, 
Samuel T. Snow; Treasurer, James Longley; and Clerk, William 
R. Cole. In the following month they organized under the laws 
of the state as a corporation; the trustees became directors and the 
same officers were elected. There have been changes in the board 
occasioned by the change of pastors in the Second Congregational 
Church, Rev. Charles W. Merriam taking the place of Rev. E. V. 
Bigelow in 1901 and the Rev. F. B. McAlhster that of Mr. Merriam 
in 1904; and by the deaths of Samuel T. Snow in 1901, of Abraham 
H. Tower in 1904 and of Charles A. Welch in 1908, whose places 
were filled in order by Charles C. Wheelwright, Edward Nichols 
and George W. CoUier, all of Cohasset. 

The first business the board found under the bequest awaiting 
them, was the location and erection of a building. The beginning 
of this task was made possible by the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel 
T. Snow of the piece of land on South Main Street where the 
library now stands. Mr. Edward Nichols was selected as the 
architect, and the construction of the building was begun in April, 



620 History of Cohasset. 

1902, and finished in December of the same year. As the building 
approached completion, the question of bringing the two libraries, 
the Cohasset Free Public Library and the Paul Pratt Memorial 
Library, into cooperation and union, pressed more and more upon 
the attention and thought of the trustees and the townspeople. 
The directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library were restrained 
by the terms of the trust from surrendering the position of regu- 
lating and supervising everything in the library, but there was the 
town library with its trustees and books. Good sense, business 
economy and destiny demanded that the two should be as one. It 
was simply brought about. The two boards agreed between them- 
selves to an arrangement, whereby the two libraries could work 
together without friction and with the common purpose of giving to 
the people of Cohasset, the best possible collection of books with 
large liberty of use, in a comfortable building modernly equipped. 
The agreement was presented to the Town Meeting, March, 1903, 
and met with the approval of the citizens. Its duration was for the 
term of three years and has since been renewed for a like length of 
time. By this agreement, the directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial 
Library have exclusive control of the management of the library, 
their own funds and the town appropriation. The trustees of 
the Cohasset Free Public Library have entire control of the 
funds of that library and the interest from the same. AU books 
bought from their funds and from the town appropriation are 
marked with the name of the Cohasset Free Public Library. 
The two boards are represented on the book committee, and thus all 
books are purchased with the joint voice and authority of the two 
boards. 

Another important matter in the library's history was effected 
by the directors. It was the remodeling of the library after the 
best types of such institutions, a complete change in method of cata- 
loguing of books and the making of regulations for the greatest 
freedom to the borrowers possible under a wise control. 

All these problems were met and solved, and the library was 
opened to the public on July 13, 1903, with certain simple dedica- 
tory exercises. 

The five years of joint history of the libraries have been years of 
steady improvement and growth. Many improvements in the way 



The Paul Pratt Memorial Library. 621 

of the public's comfort in the building and its use of tlie books have 
been made. 

For the children, a department has been made in the north 
room, where their books are stacked, their periodicals gathered 
and their own tables and chairs arranged for their use. 

The number of books has in these five years been nearly doubled, 
and those who use the library have greatly increased in number 
since the days of the badly ventilated and lighted room in the Town 
Hall. 

To each of the Hbraries bequests or gifts have been made : under 
the wills of Miss Susannah L. Stoddard and Mrs. Henry M. 
Knowles, the Cohasset Free Public Library; by that of Mrs. Edward 
Wheelwright, the Paul Pratt Memorial Library became beneficia- 
ries. At the time of the opening of the Hbrary, Mr. Charles A. 
Welch, one of the directors, gave three thousand dollars to be used 
for the purchase of books for the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. 
It was a most opportune gift, as it enabled the management to 
strengthen the library in many weak places. 

In bringing the story of the library up to date (1908) a just pride 
may be taken in the interest and labor of all who first undertook 
the work and in the excellent result achieved by the money, the 
thought and devotion of the people of Cohasset. Its future as an 
institution is assured among us. Its power as an effective agent 
for good should be as great as is its opportunity. 

Description of Building by the Architect, 
Edward Nichols. 

The Paul Pratt Memorial Library building is designed in the 
classical style of architecture, of the Georgian, or Colonial period, 
and is cruciform in plan, the main reading rooms making the long 
arms of the cross, with an Ionic portico on the front and the stack 
room in the rear making the short arms. The walls are built of 
buff brick with trimmings of Indiana limestone, above a base course 
of granite. The roof is of copper, and is crowned by an octagonal 
cupola terminated by a vane in the form of a mackerel, — typical 
of Cohasset's former industry. In a circular hall opposite the 
entrance is the general delivery desk, and close to this a card cata- 
logue case let into the paneling of the wall. Beyond the desk, 



622 History of Cohasset. 

with an intervening lobby, is the book room, consisting of two tiers 
of steel stacks with glass floor. This room is of fireproof construc- 
tion, and is shut off from the main building by an automatic fire- 
proof door. It contains shelf -room for about 13,000 volumes, 
and, by reason of the basement being wholly above ground on the 
rear, it is made possible to increase the capacity by adding an equal 
amount of shelving below, making a total capacity of 26,000 
volumes. This arrangement of stacks, partly above and partly 
below the general delivery desk, brings all of the books within easy 
access. The whole north wing of the building is given to a large 
reading room containing the juvenile department and cases for 
exhibition of articles of historic interest; and the south wing is 
divided into a smaller reading room, an alcove for reference books, 
and a room for the use of the librarian and directors. Both reading 
rooms have fireplaces, and are paneled to the height of the windows 
and finished with birch in mahogany color, with birch floors. The 
spaces on either side of the vestibule are used for the janitor's room 
and stairs to the basement and loft. In the pediment above the 
front portico is a clock, the gift of Mr. James Longley of the Board 
of Directors. 



EARLY RECORDS OF THE COHASSET LIBRARY. 

SmCE the story of the development of the Cohasset Library was 
written by Rev. Mr. Bigelow, as mentioned above, books bearing 
the inscription, ''Social Library of Cohasset, 1792," have been 
found among those of the Cohasset Free Public Library. These 
books show that a Social Library was in existence at least forty 
years earlier than the Washington Library, which was legally 
organized in 1832. 

A document dated March, 1800, now in possession of the library, 
a copy of which is appended hereto, gives a "List of Proprietors of 
old stock on the first of march by the Records" of the Cohasset 
Social Library, presumably that one in existence in 1792 and likely 
the Social Library into which the Washington Library was merged 
in 1844.

HISTORIC MEMORIALS. 

By Oliver H. Howe. 

The past ten years have seen a rather general movement to mark 
historic localities. An interesting memorial is the tablet inserted 
in a boulder near Bound Rock, close by Lincoln's Mill Pond. 
The boulder rests against the town boundary stone by the roadside 
of South Main Street, at the Scituate line. 

Bound Rock at the outlet of Lincoln's Mill Pond is underneath 
a storehouse of the grain mill upon the side street, and is marked 
by a stone post projecting up through the floor of the building. 
Bound Rock marks the easterly extremity of the boundary between 
the Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth Colonies. Further west 
the line was designated as passing through the middle of Accord 
Pond. (See " Narrative History of Cohasset," pp. 124-126.) 

This line as it exists on our maps to-day, and referred to as the 
*'01d Colony Line," "Patent Line" or "Patten Line," extends in 
an approximately straight course from Bound Rock to the Rhode 
Island boundary, a distance of thirty-five miles. It is the longest 
straight boundary line in Massachusetts, and originally marked 
the division between Puritans on the north and Pilgrims on the 
south. It now divides Norfolk and Plymouth counties, with the 
exception that Hingham on its northerly side has joined Plymouth 
county. 

Established in 1640 by four eminent men from the two colonies, 
it is found that with one exception it is the earliest artificial bound- 
ary located by landmarks in the United States. A line extending 
twelve miles across the peninsula from Chesapeake Bay to the 
ocean was established in 1632 and remains as a present boundary 
between Maryland and Virginia. The latter line was designated 
in a charter from the king, while the Massachusetts colony line 
was a mutual arrangement between the two colonies by their own 
appointed commissioners. 

The tablet was prepared and placed by the Old Colony Com- 
mission, appointed by the governor in 1895, and consisting of 
William T. Davis of Plymouth, Rev. S. Hopkins Emery of Taun-

ton, and L. Vernon Briggs of Boston. It was erected in 1900 at 
the most convenient point on the main highway, ahhough 133 feet 
distant from Bound Rock. The tablet reads as follows:

Another boulder with tablet was erected by the Col. Thomas

exhibition held in the Town Hall in September, 1901. This 
boulder is placed next North Main Street at the northerly end of 
the Common, and reads as follows:

RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF COHASSET. 

By OLIVER H. HOWE. 

The ten years since the publication of the Narrative History 
of Cohasset reveal a steady progress along the lines of town life 
which then existed. We notice at once that Cohasset has 
become more modern. Perhaps nothing has contributed more 
to this progressive spirit than the introduction of the telephone. 
At first limited to a single pay-station in the drug store of Frank 
W. Browne, Cohasset now has a well-appointed telephone 
exchange and about two hundred subscribers among towns- 
people, besides more than one hundred among summer residents. 

The citizen no longer spends half a day in driving to see some 
one on business, only to find him absent from home. As addi- 
tional bonds of public safety, the town installed a fire alarm 
telegraph system in the summer of 1905 and a police signal 
system in 1908. The railroad extended its second track to 
Cohasset in 1906, adding much to the safety and expedition of trains. 
Electric power was used from July 24, 1899, to Nov. 22, 1901, as an 
experiment upon the accommodation trains between Braintree 
and Cohasset. It had been used for several years previously in 
the summer upon the trains of open cars of the Nantasket Beach 
branch; but the line from Braintree to Cohasset was an early 
instance of its use upon a regularly equipped railroad the year 
round. The current was supplied by a third rail and the motor 
was installed beneath an ordinary passenger car, the motorman 
occupying a small compartment forward. 

The introduction of gasoline power for boats has revolution- 
ized the life of the boatman and fisherman. Instead of being 
dependent upon the fitful and uncertain breeze and being doomed 
to the consequent becalmed conditions with the weary pull at the 
oars, against wind and tide, the lobsterman can now visit his 
traps with certainty and dispatch. The sea is not the only 
locality vanquished in these modern days, for the horse is

becoming less frequent and the automobile is an almost constant 
feature of the landscape. Roads have been much improved, and 
the state road now extends from the Hingham line near Whitney 
crossing to the Scituate line near Lincoln's mill, with the excep- 
tion of a mile in the village, which the town has made equal to 
state highway. The increased wear of the roads by automobiles 
has necessitated the use of oil or of tar to lay dust and preserve 
the road. 

A hearing upon a petition for an electric street railway was 
held in 1904, but proved futile. The town is thus free from the 
encumbrances of tracks and trolley wires in its streets, which 
are none too wide for the present kinds of traffic. What the 
future means of public transportation will be, one can only 
conjecture, but it is not unlikely that we shall have motor vehicles 
running without tracks. 

Lovers of horses have preserved for themselves certain secluded 
drives. Howe's road extending between King and Doane streets 
has long been enjoyed for driving, but in recent years Worrick 
road and certain intersecting drives connecting with these and 
with Turkey Hill have been built and form delightful retreats for 
summer afternoons. 

The general aspect of Cohasset has been much improved by 
the erection of several public buildings. St. Stephen's Church 
crowning the rocks in the center of the town, lifts its massive 
tower as a noble and dignified landmark. The Paul Pratt 
Memorial Library is a conspicuous ornament, and its hospitable 
doors invite all the inhabitants to the broad and liberal culture 
of the age. At North Cohasset the Pope Memorial Church, 
massive in every detail, adds a note of strength and permanence 
to the already charming Jerusalem Road, while its sweet-toned 
bell is a delight to every listener. 

The old Black Rock House, which stood close to Jerusalem 
Road for so many years, was torn down in the fall of 1903 and its 
site left open as it is now, greatly enhancing the view. Its new 
namesake stands upon a rugged cliff about a thousand feet to the 
westward; and with picturesque towers and breezy piazzas, exults 
in its cool situation and fine view. With the passing of the old 
hotel, we must also notice the disappearance of the old Warren

Recent Development of Cohasset. 629 

Bates House on Jerusalem Road, for so many years kept as a 
quiet and select boarding house by the genial couple who occupied 
it. The property was purchased in 1904 by Mr. Matthew Luce, 
who, after removing the old buildings, erected the fine residence 
which he now occupies. Much of the life and constitution of our 
present summer colony owes its origin to this excellent boarding 
house where many of our families first enjoyed the delights of 
Cohasset. Beginning as transient boarders, they were led to 
build houses and develop large estates here, which have already 
been enjoyed by the second and third generations of their descend- 
ants. It is proverbial that any one who has really tasted the 
beauties of Cohasset becomes possessed by a desire to return and 
live here. This is seen in the "homing instinct" of our towns- 
people; for many a young couple have emigrated to some other 
locality more convenient to business, expecting never to return; 
but a few years (or months) have sufficed to bring them back to 
their native town for life. 

Development of ornamental public grounds has kept pace with 
other improvements. The North End Park, with its quiet, restful 
elms, was made in 1904 through the generosity of Mrs. T. F. 
Furber. An extensive improvement of Meeting House pond 
was accomplished in 1903, the cost being provided by the estate 
of Robert C. Billings. The fountain and the present graceful 
curbing were added and the immediate surroundings greatly 
improved. The beauty of our Common compels the admiration 
of every beholder. As the center of a village it possesses a harmony 
and proportion and a rare beauty, which are seldom equalled and 
probably never surpassed. The Bilhngs estate also provided for 
an enlargement of Pratt Park in Beechwood, now known as 
Billings-Pratt Park. 

In 1907 the town purchased Lawrence wharf on Border Street 
for a public landing place. The acquisition of this wharf, together 
with the widening of Summer Street at the head of the Cove, gives 
the town the ownership of nearly half of the shore of the inner 
harbor. Among the old buildings which have given way to the 
march of improvement were the old store of Mr. Caleb F. Nichols, 
at the head of the Cove, torn down in 1907, and the near-by Zealous 
Bates house, demolished in 1908. The aspect of the old fishing

village is slowly but surely disappearing, with consequent loss 
of many quaint buildings, but delightful views have been opened 
up and the natural beauty is much enhanced. 

The schooner yacht Grade, one of the later vessels built in 
Cohasset and which remained at anchor in the harbor for nearly 
twenty years, was broken up in 1905. She was built for 
Mr. Edward E. Tower in 1872 of timber grown here. Her 
length was 68.2 feet and her gross tonnage 53.84. A near neighbor 
of the Grade at her anchorage, although kept in commission, was 
the famous sloop yacht Shadow, owned by Dr. John Bryant. She 
was built by J. B. Herreshoff in 187 1 and had a length of 36 feet 
6 inches. She defeated the English cutter Madge in 1881, and in 
the period between 1875 and 1886 the Shadow maintained constant 
prestige over boats of her tonnage in Eastern waters. Within 
the past year, when laid up between the bridges at Chelsea, she 
was burned in the great Chelsea fire April 12, 1908. 

Mention of the Shadow brings to mind Capt. Aubrey Crocker, 
who for many years sailed her. Captain Crocker also sailed the 
Puritan against the Genesta in 1885, successfully defending the 
America's cup. In 1893 he sailed the Navahoe against the 
Britannia on a course from the Isle of Wight to Cherbourg 
and return, winning back to American possession the Brenton 
Reef cup. During this race, which was in the severest racing 
weather. Captain Crocker remained constantly at the wheel for 
ten hours, part of which time he was in water up to his waist. 
Captain Crocker spent most of his life in Cohasset and died here 
June 23, 1906. 

An attempt was made in 1902 to have the town purchase 
White Head, in order to secure to posterity the time-honored 
picnic privileges. After two meetings and free discussion of the 
matter, the town voted by a good majority to purchase the prop- 
erty, but failed to give the required two-thirds vote. White 
Head has since passed into private hands, and the opportunity 
is lost. 

The enjoyment of the sea is much increased by the flourishing 
Cohasset Yacht Club, formed in 1894. Lovers of golf take much 
pleasure in the fine hnks of the Cohasset Golf Club on land of 
Mr. Henry M. Whitney on Lambert's Lane. In 1901 the town 
purchased a spacious ball field and recreation ground just below

the reservoir on Pleasant Street. The Cyrus H. Bates Camp of 
Sons of Veterans, No. 140, was formed in 1908 with forty mem- 
bers and William H. Brown as commander. 

The conduct of town meetings is much facilitated by the 
adoption of the Australian ballot in 1904. In 1907 the town 
sold its old almshouse on King Street, and built the modern and 
commodious Cohasset Home on Pond Street, which would be a 
credit to any town. The new Woodside Cemetery on North Main 
Street, next the Hingham hne, was opened in 1902. New fire 
department houses have been built at North Cohasset (the 
Matthew Luce Hose) and in Beechwood. The interior of the 
First Parish Church has been carefully restored, replacing the 
antique columns with which it was originally ornamented. 

Being somewhat distant from Boston, Cohasset develops its 
own village institutions and social life. The Literary Club, 
formed in 1890, has been a notable means of culture, and now, 
after an existence of eighteen years, is in a flourishing con- 
dition with more than fifty members. The Men's Club of 
Cohasset, formed in 1907, has now one hundred members, and 
uniting in a broad and liberal way the energies and resources 
of the citizens, will make for civic improvement and high stand- 
ards of citizenship. 

The town has had a steady growth: many new houses have 
been built, including one large settlement on Lincoln Hillside. 
All houses have become more comfortable by adoption of modern 
heating apparatus and plumbing. New summer cottages have 
also been built, many of which are placed in picturesque situ- 
ations in our rocky woods. Our summer residents are making 
longer seasons here, and the summer house, being better fur- 
nished and equipped than formerly, is becoming more and more 
the real home. Some families originally here for the summer 
have made Cohasset their residence for the entire year. The 
influence and help of these new citizens in our winter social life 
is of decided benefit. Free from any disturbing elements to 
impair its value as a place of residence, combining a shore of 
wonderful interest with the rugged charm of woodland and cliff, 
Cohasset is the gem of the " South Shore," famous for its pictur- 
esqueness and its beauty.
